3 Electrical Upgrades That Are Perfect for Summer
Summer is a great time to improve a home, inside and out. One often overlooked area is the home's electrical system and what electricians can do to benefit the household in the summer and beyond. This blog post will discuss some popular electrical upgrades to consider.
Ceiling Fan Installation
With the summer heat, homeowners must do whatever they can to keep their homes cool and comfortable. While running an air conditioner is effective, it can also be expensive. Another option that can benefit homeowners is to have ceiling fans installed and use them along with the air conditioning, allowing the temperature on the thermostat to be adjusted to save energy and money without sacrificing cooling and comfort.
But ceiling fans aren't just beneficial in the summer or when it’s hot outside. They can also be used along with the heating system to save energy and money by changing the direction they spin. When used along with the AC system in the summer, ceiling fans should spin counterclockwise. Then, in the winter or when used along with the heating, the ceiling fans should spin clockwise at a low speed.
Whole House Surge Protector Installation
Electricians can also help households by installing a whole-home surge protector. Power surges can be more frequent in the summer months, as electricity is in higher demand, keeping appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators running. Summer can also bring severe thunderstorms and lightning, which can cause power surges.
Installing surge protectors is beneficial for safeguarding electronic devices and appliances from damage due to power surges and ensuring their longevity. These devices act as a barrier between electronics and sudden voltage spikes, which can occur due to factors such as lightning strikes, power outages, and more. They provide peace of mind that valuable electronics are protected from unforeseen power surges, extending their lifespan and minimizing the risk of costly repairs or replacements.
Pool or Hot Tub Installation
Many families want to have fun and entertain at their homes in the summer. One of the best ways to do this is by adding a pool or hot tub in the home’s yard that residents can enjoy for years to come. However, it’s crucial to call electricians to do all the electrical wiring for pools and hot tubs to keep everyone safe.
Not only can adding a pool to a house be great for entertaining, but it can also provide a space for exercise and relaxation and add property value. However, when having a pool or hot tub installed at home, it’s important to have lighting installed as well. Not only will lighting help people enjoy the space even after the sun goes down, but it’s also important for safety.
