4 Smart Electrical Upgrades for Your Home!

As your home ages, there will likely be small repairs and upgrades that will be needed over time. For example, your electrical system! There may come a time when a few updates will be needed. Not sure what aspects of your electrical system may need to be upgraded? Find out four smart electrical upgrades from our electrical contracting company at the Lake of the Ozarks! 



Electrical Panel 

Our homes have more electronics now than they ever have. More electronics means we need power in our home. Your electrical panel is responsible for bringing power into your home and dispersing it. With an increase in electricity usage, you will need a bigger electrical panel to support it. Upgrading your electrical panel is not a difficult upgrade but it should be done by a licensed electrician at the Lake of the Ozkars. 

Kitchen Lighting 

Adding more kitchen lighting is a great way to not only brighten up your kitchen but add a new design element to your home. You can add task lighting above your stove, sink, or under your cabinets. You can also make a statement in your kitchen with overhead lighting in your dining room or above your kitchen island. 

Bathroom Lighting 

In addition to your kitchen lighting, upgrading your bathroom lighting is a great way to brighten up your bathroom and give it a fresh look. Recessed lighting is popular in bathrooms. Of course, while you are upgrading your light fixtures, we recommend upgrading to LED Bulbs.



Outlets 

It's important that your outlets are up to code. If you live in an older home, make sure that you don't have any two-prong outlets. These are out of date and in some cases can be considered dangerous. In high moisture areas such as bathrooms, kitchen, and garages you should have GFCI outlets.
