Emerging Home Electrical Needs
Because so many more people are working from home, and the kids are home for a bit, let’s take a look around the house, because now is the perfect time for much-needed electrical upgrades and repairs. It only takes a few minutes to create a list, and a little planning will offer the best value in terms of coupling jobs together to save on costs.
So, we’ve listed some of the most common requests to consider during an assessment of the current electrical status.
Repairs
During an assessment, be sure to note any electrical outlets or fixtures that need to be repaired. These repairs can often be easily fit into an electrical upgrade plan without requiring an additional service call. That means a home will be in peak condition without a hefty additional cost.
Extra Outlets
Adding outlets is another popular request, both because we use many more electrical appliances than we used to, and also because sometimes a builder simply didn’t add enough outlets or outlets in the locations we need them.
Add/move a ceiling light or fan
This is another upgrade that greatly depends on the needs and lifestyle of the homeowner. Often these upgrades include adding smart appliances, such as fans, which can be operated from a phone.
Add new fixtures
As the world becomes smarter, we get more and more requests for security doorbells, security lighting, smart hubs, Nests, and other home automation integration requests. The electrical savings as a result of installing these features frequently pay for our service costs in a surprisingly short time. The added comfort and savings continue long afterward.
Recessed/LED lighting
Current lighting technology and styles have simply exploded. The features and savings are phenomenal, and many of our customers are taking advantage of them while enjoying the layered lighting look that has become so popular. Under counter lighting is another oft-requested upgrade.
Electrical panel upgrades
This is a popular option for older homes, when new home buyers are savvy, upscale energy consumers with a number of electronic gadgets and a willingness to buy more to suit their lifestyle.
Outdoor upgrades
Security lighting, ambiance lighting, automated lighting, poolside lighting, and security cameras are all high on the list of items homeowners frequently request, and with good reason: this type of upgrade adds lasting value to the home while providing an aesthetically pleasing environment.
