A home renovation is an ideal time to update your electrical system for safety, energy efficiency, convenience and comfort. An electrical upgrade can also increase the value of a home, making the upgrade a wise investment for the present and future. Here are five important benefits of upgrading your home’s electrical system when renovating.
1. Improved Safety
Older homes often have outdated electrical systems that no longer meet the current electrical code. As homeowners add appliances, computers and other items to the system, an outdated electrical system can easily overload, creating a safety risk.
2. Increased Energy Efficiency
Updating the electrical system can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce utility bills. One of the most energy-saving upgrades is installing a state-of-the-art electric panel that efficiently manages power usage.
3. More Convenience
Some upgrades we make are to improve occupant convenience. For example, we can move or add outlets and add home automation that lets homeowners control their lights and security system via a smartphone app.
4. Added Comfort
Upgrading an electrical system can make the home more comfortable. Adding remote-controlled ceiling fans, smart thermostats and LED lighting that creates less heat are ways to increase the general comfort of a home’s interior.
5. Greater Home Value
Rewiring the home, upgrading the service panel, and adding modern customized interior lighting and various technologies add value to the home by reducing the need to offer concessions during a home sale.
Enhancing a Home With an Electrical System Upgrade
Electrical upgrades are among the best ways to address rising utility bills and environmental concerns. We can design a plan that reduces energy consumption while improving safety, comfort and convenience and even add some glamour with interior lighting options.
