We're in the early stages of remodeling our kitchen, nope I'm not doing it luckily, and are considering adding under cabinet lighting. Now the project mgr, as well as several others, have told us numerous times that if we want anything electrical installed (hood, light fixtures....etc) that their electrician will do it with no additional charge as long as we have it all on hand while they are there. Although I've directly asked for confirmation every time we speak in person as well as email I'm a little skeptical. I'm thinking they might decide to draw the line at the cabinet lighting since they offer the puck style, that we aren't real fond of, as an upgrade for a very steep price. In the event that they do I'm planning on putting it in myself and want to make sure I don't commit any no-no's. If I end up doing it I'm hoping to get everything in before they put in the back splash.
1) Does Wake Co/Raleigh have any code against running low voltage wiring enclosed? Say behind the back splash? I saw a blurb from a distributor that mentioned that low voltage wiring behind sheet rock wasn't allowed in some areas.
2) Anyone have any firsthand experience with installing and have any suggestions on things to look out for?
3) Any brands to avoid? I'm looking at the Kichler 12v linear line at present and am trying to figure my transformer, wiring, track, and bulb requirements.
4) Anyone see anything I should be addressing that I didn't ask?
TIA,
Brian.
