FALL ELECTRICAL UPGRADES
Fall is here, and we’re all enjoying the milder temperatures. But, before the holidays, let’s take a stroll around the house because now is the perfect time for electrical upgrades and repairs. It only takes a few minutes to create an electrical upgrade wishlist, and a bit of planning will offer the best value regarding coupling jobs together to save on costs.
We’ve listed some of the most commonly requested services for you to consider as you walk around to assess your current electrical needs.
Repairs
During your assessment, be sure to note any electrical outlets, fans, or fixtures which need to be repaired. These repairs can often be comfortably fit into an electrical upgrade plan without requiring an additional service call. That means your home will be in peak condition without a hefty extra cost.
Extra Outlets
Adding outlets is a popular request because we use many more electrical appliances than we used to. Also, sometimes a builder didn’t add enough outlets in the original plan, or not enough outlets in the locations we need them.
Add/move a ceiling light or fan
This is another upgrade which significantly depends on the needs and lifestyle of the homeowner. Often these upgrades include smart appliances, such as lights and fans, which can be operated from a phone.
Adding 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. The electrical savings as a result of installing these features frequently pay for our service cost in a surprisingly short time--and the savings continue long afterward.
Recessed/LED lighting
Current lighting technology and styles have just 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
Electrical panel upgrades are a popular option for older homes. They offer energy consumers with many electronic gadgets and a willingness to buy more need 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. With good reason--this type of upgrade adds lasting value to the home while providing an aesthetically pleasing environment. Now is also an ideal time to add outdoor outlets for holiday lights.
