We’re considering pods. Do they just plug in, or do we need an electrician?
Most modern office pods are designed for easy setup—but requirements vary by model. Here's what to expect:
| Pod Type | Power Needs | Installation |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Phone Booth | Plug into standard wall outlet | Delivered assembled—just place and plug in |
| Fully Equipped Pod (with lighting, fans, tech) | Standard outlet; some may need dedicated circuit | May need minor assembly (attach door, shelves) |
| HVAC-Integrated Pod (heating/cooling) | May require dedicated electrical circuit | Professional electrical connection recommended |
| Networked Pods (booking systems) | Standard power + WiFi or Ethernet | IT setup for booking software |
Typical Setup Process:
Delivery: Pod arrives assembled or in large pieces
Placement: Move to desired location (often on casters)
Power: Plug into nearest outlet—cords can be hidden in base
Optional: Connect to network for booking system
