Top Home Electrical Upgrades For Spring

With spring arriving in just a couple of weeks, this is a good time to look at your home’s electrical system and to consider any upgrades that could make your home safer and more comfortable.

1. Outdoor Landscape Lighting

Outdoor lighting adds safety and security to your home while enhances your landscaping and adds curb appeal to your property. Ensure that entryways, paths and stairs have enough light to provide safe access to the home at night.

2. Whole Home Surge Protection

It only takes a split second for a lightening strike or power surge to cause damage to your expensive electrical appliances. To protect your investment, install a whole house surge protector. Surge protection installed at your service panel is far more effective than plug-in power strip surge protectors.

3. Whole House Generator

A standby generator provides safe, reliable power during electrical storms and grid failures.With a natural gas or LP standby generator you’ll have all the power you need to run your refrigerator, air conditioner and other appliances. Best of all there’s no generator to wheel out of storage and start up, a standby generator turns on automatically when the power goes out.

4. Ceiling Fans

While ceiling fans don’t actually lower the temperature in your home, they help your air conditioner and furnace work more efficiently by distributing the air to the living space, increasing comfort and lower your utility bill.
