The best part of relaxing at home is enjoying the convenience and security of your house. It’s always exciting to find new ways to improve the comfort of your home or offer an improved level of safety to your family. Today’s impressive technology innovations have made it possible for homeowners like you to quickly improve the functionality and safety of their home, without breaking the bank.
Take a look at a few ways forward-thinking homeowners are upgrading their electrical systems to change the way they live forever.

Lifestyle Upgrades

Sometimes all you need to improve your home is add a few features that improve your lifestyle. These luxurious electrical upgrades below are all simple ways to improve the quality of life in your home.

USB Outlets

USB ports are a popular electrical feature in newer homes – they can be swapped with existing outlets or added to new and useful locations like kitchen drawers, cabinet tops, and more.

Dimmers

Dimmers allow people to soften their lighting in smooth increments, all from a single switch. Perfect for date nights or simply relaxing, adding dimmers does more than just improve the design of a room.
Surprisingly, dimmers can help to save electricity. Lutron, a dimmer manufacturer, suggests that using these devices can reduce energy use up to 20%.

LED Strip Lighting

LED strip lights are arguably the most versatile light fixtures a homeowner can use. Available in waterproof and standard models, these flexible strips of tape can be placed in all the hard to reach areas of your home.

A few areas that are often improved with LED strip lighting include:

• Stairs, above soffits
• Outdoor paths
• Indoor storage areas (such as cabinets and pantries)
• Soffits
• Bookshelves

After you’ve gathered a general idea of the spaces you’d like to add lighting to, contact a professional to discuss the best way to wire it in.

Smart Safety

Did you know that security has become one of the top priorities among single-family renters? As a result of the increased demand, home automation in the form of smart safety has flooded the electrical market.

Today, homeowners in search of luxurious electrical upgrades can use automated home security for:

• Monitoring your yard via surveillance cameras
• Locking your doors and access gate via cell phone
• Notify you via cell phone if a bathroom or basement has begun to leak significantly
• Turn on and off the home’s lighting
• Control thermostat temperature

And more!

By upgrading the electrical devices in your living space, you can add value to your home while improving your lifestyle. Homeowners who prioritize safety often choose to install a security focused home automation system before upgrading other devices. Homeowners who already have security systems in place often choose to make small incremental upgrades to their lighting and electrical system by adding dimmers, USB outlets, and upgraded light packages.
