Making electrical updates in your home

SMALL CHANGES BIG DIFFERENCE…

If you’re looking to refresh your homes and make some changes, here are a few electrical ideas that you might like to consider

LED Lighting

Lights help to give your home a certain atmosphere, and different lights and bulbs can determine how each room feels when you are in it. Spotlights work fantastically in kitchens as they really brighten up the room and make you feel alert and energetic. More of our residential customers are now moving towards Eco energy saving lighting; not only are LED lamps now more affordable they will give a dramatic decrease in energy costs and save you money.

Adding extra sockets (replacing vanity mirror – will add this into editorial later on about lighting)

Most homes have around 4 – 6 sockets in an average room in their house; however with the increase in home entertainment and technology, this is often not enough. If you are constantly using extension leads or adapters to power your electrical appliances in a particular room, then it is time to look at adding extra wall sockets. Having these added by a professional electrician can be straight forward and minimise any dangers caused by misusing a quick fix solution of adapters.

USB Socket Outlets

With the ever-increasing array of gadgets that find their way into our home (Tablets, Phones, Kindles etc) it seems like there is a growing demand for built in USB sockets to aid the charging of these electrical devices. These can be in the form of a multi function socket where you can power multiple appliances at the same time, a customisable socket to suit any style or decor – meaning you can upgrade to the latest technology and style to update the look of your wall sockets without having to redecorate or change your existing style.

By installing additional wall sockets including USB charging ports, you are reducing the number of cables and therefore potential accidents plus some USB wall sockets can actually charge some mobile devices faster than the actual adapters – a great time saver.

You probably won’t need them in every room but the kitchen, bedroom and office are a few places that would benefit from having to search the house for chargers.
