The Top 3 Electrical Improvements to Increase Home Value
When you need an electrical upgrade in your home, don’t just settle for standard repairs. New electrical residential projects offer a rare opportunity to boost your home’s value as you simultaneously fix the present issue at hand.
Below you’ll see the top three electrical improvements you can choose from that will light up your home while boosting its value:
- Smart Technology
With the growing market demand for smart technology in homes, there’s never a better time to upgrade your home to the digital sphere than when you need a residential electrical upgrade. In an appraiser’s eyes—the person who determines the value of your home—tech-enabled homes are worth far more than tech-deficient ones.
If you’re thinking about switching to smart technology on your property, consider the following installations that will take your home’s valuation to the next level:
- Smart TVs
- Smart HVAC systems
- Smart appliances, such as refrigerators and washers
- Smart thermostats
- Smart security systems
- Smart nightlights
- Smart outdoor watering systems
- Smart fire and carbon monoxide detectors
Many of these devices need to be hard wired into your home, and some may draw more power than your current electrical panel can support. Therefore, you’ll want to have a qualified electrician assist with the installation.
- Led Lights
In the real estate world, LED lights are popular. LED light fixtures can actually increase a property’s value by 1-3%, which is no small figure when it comes to the thousands—if not millions—that homes are worth these days. LED lights create soft, natural lighting with bulbs that last far longer than the standard type while also being eco-friendlier and more efficient. So, LED lights won’t only earn you a higher return on investment when it comes time to sell your home, but they’ll save you tons of money on energy bills beforehand.
- Upgraded Electrical Paneling/Generators
Old homes typically feature 100-amp panels that can perform well within their perimeters. However, more modern homes feature 200-amp panels that can support the latest technologies. For potential home buyers looking far into their future in your property, it’s wise to invest in the latter to suit their future needs, which not only adds extra value to your home but entices more buyers to consider it.
