When you start a home remodel, there may be several upgrades that you’re planning on incorporating in the process. One that is often overlooked but can deliver a huge upgrade is electrical work. There are some electrical upgrades that you might want to add into the plans you have for your home remodel. These upgrades can have a big impact on your home. Burley Electrical Services is here to share some of the top electrical upgrades that you should consider when you start to think about remodeling your home.
Upgraded Electrical Panel
If you live in an older home, it was more than likely built before this technology age that we currently live in. The electrical panel more than likely isn’t equipped to handle the electrical demands of your modern home. If you have an outdated or overloaded panel, you more than likely experience frequent breaker trips and potential fire safety hazards. If you are adding onto your home during your remodel, it may be absolutely necessary to upgrade your panel to support the added square footage.
Energy Efficient Lighting Installation
Sometimes, older homes have outdated and inefficient lighting. When you make the upgrade to energy efficient lighting in your home, you may be surprised at home much you can save on energy every month. You can also customize energy efficient lighting much easier with dimmer switches and smart lighting controls that can give you the freedom to customize the mood of your room.
Add More Outlets & USB ports
If your home is like most, you have many devices that you are using throughout your space. Phones, tablets, computers and more are frequently used in most houses today. This means that you have more devices that need to be plugged in and charged on a regular basis. You may want to consider adding some outlets in your home to support all of this device use. You may want to consider adding an outlet that has USB-C ports built right into the outlet for easy charging. Your electrician can help you determine the best place to put some additional outlets in your home.
Include Smart Home Technologies
Many modern appliances, lighting, and thermostats can be put on smart home controls so that you can more efficiently control the energy usage in your home. This can not only make it easier to control your home, but it can make your home more appealing to buyers if you decide to sell as well. Choosing to integrate smart home technologies into your home remodel can help enhance the safety and security of your home all while saving money on energy costs.
