Top Home Electrical Upgrades For Summer

Posted July 14, 2014

Summer is a good time to consider making electrical upgrades around the home to improve safety, comfort ad convenience. Here are a few of the more popular electrical upgrades to consider.

1. Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting can be as simple as a new porch light or more elaborate, such as path and security lighting. Filling in the dark areas around your home will provide a welcoming environment for guests while deterring criminal activity. Quality outdoor lighting also increases curb appeal and property values.

2. Standby Generator Systems

With strong summer storms comes the likelihood of extended power outages. Today's backup generators are reliable, safe and efficient. When the power goes out, the generator automatically turns on and uses your home's natural gas line to power all of your lighting and appliances.

3. Ceiling Fans

Ceiling fans are a great way to increase comfort by improving the airflow in your home. While they don't actually cool the air they help your cooling system work more efficiently by distributing the cooled air down to the living space.
