    What do you mean, “behind the wall”? Electrical code requires the disconnect to be readily accessible and within sight of the AC unit. It cannot be behind the wall. Has to be lockable now too if accessible to non-trained people, like the homeowner.

    The thing that is confusing to me is that 210.52(C)(3) refers to "Required Receptacle Locations" so: 1) There are a specific (minimum) number of Required Receptacles based on the Sq.Ft. of the top 2) It specifies where to put them (250.52(C)(3)(1)), BUT 3) What about the non-required receptacles that can be installed? I believe they can be located on the sides - correct?

    Stupid code. Just below an overhanging counter keeps spills out of the receptacle, the receptacle is convenient, and your countertop integrity remains. Especially when that countertop costs $4,000. The idea that it stops appliances from being pulled off the counter is baloney. The excess cord will probably hang off the side of the counter inviting that tragedy just the same.

    Stuff gets spilled on islands all the time. What happens when that lemonade spills down into the electrical outlet that they insisted be on top of the island? Plus they’ve ruined the aesthetics of the island countertop, and made a good portion of it unusable as a work area (due to the uneven height and the desire to keep foods and juices away from it). This is absolutely idiotic. Why not say the outlet can be directly under the countertop overhang? Just as accessible with none of the problems.

    I keep being surprised by how flimsy most American houses are build. Here in the Netherlands I live in a house made out of 10cm ~4inch of prefab concrete walls and an outer wall of brick. Roof is made almost 15cm thick with the tiles made out of hardened 2.5cm thick tiles. We get named storms and all we have are blown down trees and some shattered windows.

The increased cost usually send the client in other directions that seem more cost effective.

    These are affordable, single family dwellings in low density areas. They are being built for Americans who want to own the home they live in. They're also not meant to be there forever. With the surging population they will eventually be demolished to make way for larger concrete and steel structures.

    I renovate homes in Tampa Bay area and my inspector on my last flip said "yes" I had to choose either A,B, or option C. I chose "C' because the peninsula consisted of all cabinets with drawers, making a pup up not an option (because of part of the receptacle hanging a good 2 inches into the drawer area). Give your building dept a call and ask to talk to an inspector to make sure. Hope that helps.

    @@WardCo Right. Island/peninsula outlets are no longer required. The code states that the REQUIRED outlets must be installed above or in the counter. I'd argue that the outlet on the side of the island isn't a REQUIRED outlet, so it doesn't fall under those rules. Am I prohibited from installing an optional convenience outlet there? Not sure that the inspector would agree to my reading of the code. I'm building a house soon, so I may just have to go the "future installation" route.
