The first thing is to let the electricians do their thing. While they can give you an estimate of how many holes they may make, no one really knows until it’s done.

2 Types of Electrician Holes
Why doesn’t anyone know how many holes will be made? Simply put, there are 2 different types of holes made by electricians.
Fishing hole :The second type of hole is what some call a fish tape hole. there are AKA fishing down the walls with a flexible metal rod, in your walls. When an electrician needs to run wire through the home, he fishes it from one location to the next. Sometimes the electrician knows exactly how many fishing holes will need to be made. The guess work comes in when there is no way of knowing which way your floor joists are running.
Depending on your home, If they are running one way the electrician may be able to make a hole in one spot on the ceiling and run the wire all the way to where the device will be. In other cases, if the floor/ceiling joists are running perpendicular to the direction you wish to run the wire, your electrician may have to make a fishing hole every 16 inches so that he can also drill through each joist and run the wire.
