        "text": "Island outlets should be planned with the countertop layout, appliance locations, and applicable electrical requirements in mind; they should not be added as an afterthought. New or relocated circuits in the City of San Diego generally require electrical permitting, and other jurisdictions may have separate procedures.\n\nContext: The number and placement of receptacles depend on the island’s size, surface arrangement, and intended appliances. GFCI protection and required circuit arrangements may apply to kitchen receptacles, so a qualified electrical professional should confirm the current requirements.\n\nKey factors:\n- Island length and divided countertop areas.\n- Small-appliance, dishwasher, disposal, microwave, or cooktop loads.\n- Outlet placement that remains accessible without cluttering the design.\n\nPractical guidance: Provide the electrician with the final cabinet and appliance drawings before wiring. Elite Remodeling & Design can coordinate electrical planning with the kitchen layout rather than cutting openings after installation.\n\nThis sequencing helps protect the countertop and cabinetry from avoidable modifications.",
