Your home is not only a place of comfort and security for your family but also an important investment. While many homeowners think of traditional upgrades like kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, or adding double glazing to increase property value, there are other, often overlooked, improvements that can offer significant benefits—electrical upgrades. These improvements can enhance both the safety and efficiency of your home while adding value to your property. Let’s explore some electrical upgrades that are not only affordable but can also deliver lasting benefits.
The Benefits of Electrical Upgrades
Energy efficiency & cost savings
Advancements in technology, especially within the electrical sector, have made it easier than ever to save on energy costs. By upgrading to energy-efficient lighting systems or installing smart home technologies, you can lower your energy consumption and utility bills. At Moreheat, we’ve helped many homeowners install lighting and smart home systems, resulting in long-term savings. If you're considering these updates, our team is ready to guide you through the options that best suit your home and lifestyle.
Improved safety
As electrical systems age, they can become dangerous, potentially causing electrical fires or shocks due to outdated wiring or faulty outlets. An electrical rewire not only ensures your home is safer but also adds value when it’s time to sell. With certified paperwork from Moreheat, you can confidently demonstrate to prospective buyers that your home’s electrical system is modern and secure.
Modernising your home
The last time you had your home rewired, your family probably didn’t have nearly as many devices as they do today. Modern plug sockets, often featuring USB A and USB C ports, provide a more convenient way to charge your devices, keeping your home up-to-date with current needs. This small but effective upgrade adds both functionality and value to your home.
Key Electrical Upgrades to Consider
- Convert your lighting to LED
One of the simplest ways to reduce your energy bills is by switching to LED lighting. LED bulbs are far more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent bulbs, last longer, and provide brighter, more appealing illumination. This upgrade not only lowers costs but can also improve the overall appearance of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. - Upgrade your fuse box (Consumer Unit)
Just like your wiring, your consumer unit can degrade over time. Updating it not only enhances safety but also increases electrical capacity, which is particularly useful as homes today rely on more electrical appliances than ever before. As a rule, we allow an extra 20% space to accommodate for additional fuses, future-proofing its capacity to eliminate the cost of future replacement. A modern consumer unit (fuse box) is a smart investment that adds peace of mind and value to your property. Find out more in our consumer unit upgrades page. - Install a video doorbell
A simple and effective way to increase both the security and value of your home is by installing a video doorbell. This upgrade integrates well with other smart devices like lights and locks. It also allows you to monitor visitors and communicate with delivery drivers when you're not home, adding convenience to your daily life. - Add an electric vehicle (EV) charging point
With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the phase-out of petrol and diesel cars planned for 2035, installing an EV charging port is a forward-thinking investment. Not only will it appeal to prospective buyers who own or plan to buy an electric vehicle, but it will also make your home more attractive in an increasingly eco-conscious market. Find out more in our EV charge points page. - Invest in solar panels
Solar panels can be a smart investment. By reducing energy bills and potentially earning income through excess power sold back to the grid, solar panels not only help you to save money but also enhance the market value of your home. Find out more about solar panels. - Install outdoor electrical points and feature lighting
If you have a garden, deck, or outdoor space, adding weatherproof outdoor electrical outlets is a great way to enhance its functionality and usability. These outlets are ideal for powering lawn equipment, outdoor heaters, or even a hot tub. Additionally, outdoor feature lighting can transform your space, allowing you to enjoy it well into the evening. Many of our clients at Moreheat have commented on how much they appreciate the convenience of outdoor power and lighting, often wishing they had installed them sooner.
