Top Home Electrical Resolutions for 2024



As we step into a new year, it's the perfect time for homeowners to assess and prioritise the well-being of their homes, starting with the electrical systems. Neglecting this crucial aspect can lead to safety hazards and inefficiencies. To help you kick off the year on the right foot, here are five things you should prioritise with regards to your home's electrical systems in 2024.


1. Electrical Safety Inspection:


Your home's electrical system is the backbone of its functionality, and safety should be your top concern. Schedule a comprehensive electrical safety inspection by a licensed North East electrician such as ourselves to identify potential issues such as outdated wiring, faulty circuits, or overloaded panels. This proactive approach can prevent electrical fires and other hazardous situations, ensuring the well-being of your family and property.


2. Smart Home Integration:


2024 is the year to embrace smart home technology for enhanced efficiency and convenience. Consider integrating smart devices such as thermostats, lighting controls, and security systems. Not only do these devices make your life easier, but they also contribute to energy savings by allowing you to monitor and control your home's electrical consumption more effectively. Make the smart choice to future-proof your home and stay ahead of the curve in home automation.


3. Energy-Efficient Lighting:


Switching to energy-efficient lighting is not only environmentally friendly but also a smart financial move. LED bulbs consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a much longer lifespan. Make 2024 the year you upgrade your home's lighting to LED, reducing your energy bills and minimising your environmental footprint. Additionally, consider installing motion sensors and smart lighting controls to optimise energy usage throughout your home.


4. Consumer Unit Upgrade:


If your home is still relying on an outdated fuse box, it's time for an upgrade. Modern lifestyles demand more power for various electronic devices and appliances. An upgraded consumer unit not only ensures your home can handle increased electrical loads but also enhances safety by reducing the risk of electrical overloads and fires. Consult with a professional electrician such as ourselves to determine if your current fuse board is up to the task or if an upgrade is in order.


5. Emergency Backup Systems:


Power outages can strike at any time, and being prepared is crucial. Consider investing in an emergency backup system, such as a generator or a battery backup for essential appliances and systems. This ensures that you can power through outages, keeping your home secure and functional. An emergency backup system provides peace of mind, especially during extreme weather events or unexpected power disruptions.


Make these electrical priorities a part of your resolutions for the year, and you'll be on your way to a safer and smarter home in 2024.
