You may not realize how many electrical upgrades can make a big difference in the comfort, condition, and functionality of your home. If you are looking to invest in your home and improve its market value, there are a number of electrical upgrades that you should consider. Even the simplest changes can have a significant effect on the atmosphere in your house.
Recessed Lights
Talk with an electrician about replacing your traditional light fixtures with recessed lighting throughout your home. Installing recessed light containers will help you improve the spread of lighting in each room, increase your visibility, and produce a more streamlined appearance in your rooms by eliminating wall-mounted light fixtures.
Ceiling Fans
Installing ceiling fans throughout your home will help with air circulation and comfort in your house. Your ceiling fans will help push warm air down during the winter months and help keep cooler air circulating throughout the summer. Talk with an electrician about the types of ceiling fans that will work best in your home, including remote-control or smart-home-capable fans.
Outdoor Lights
Improving the outdoor lighting around your house can improve security and visibility on your home's perimeter. You can incorporate motion sensors and integrate your lights with a comprehensive surveillance system to maintain your home's safety and ensure easy visibility outside when you need it.
GFCI Fixtures
Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) fixtures are important for safety in the areas around your home where water exposure is a risk. Talk with an electrician about evaluating your home's GFCI fixture access. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms should all have GFCI outlets to reduce the risk of electric shock due to water exposure. Your electrician will help you ensure that your outlets are secure and functional to protect you and your family.
LED Lights
Replace your home's lights with LED fixtures instead of incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Transitioning your lights to LEDs will not only save you money on your energy bills but will also provide you with vibrant light without the added heat of incandescent lights. You'll get the benefit of consistent, vibrant lighting and the cost savings associated with it. LED lights last longer, so you'll save money on new bulbs as well.
These are a few of the upgrades that your home can benefit from. Talk with your electrician for more information about other electrical upgrades that will be beneficial for your home's comfort and general functionality.
