As we welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the future. While resolutions often focus on health and personal growth, have you considered making resolutions for your home or business? Specifically, your electrical systems? At JB Electrical Hertfordshire, we believe a safe, efficient, and well-maintained electrical setup is a great way to start the year on the right foot. Here are some top tips and ideas to make your property safer and more energy-efficient in 2025.
1. Schedule an Electrical Safety Check
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) ensures your property’s wiring and systems are safe and compliant with current standards. If you haven’t had an EICR in the past five years (or for landlords, annually), now is the time to book one. Protect your family or tenants by identifying potential issues before they become hazards.
2. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Solutions
With rising energy costs, upgrading to energy-efficient lighting and appliances can save you money while reducing your environmental impact. Consider:
Replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs.
Installing smart thermostats and timers.
Upgrading outdated appliances to energy-efficient models.
3. Install EV Charging Points
As electric vehicles become more popular, having a home EV charging point is both practical and convenient. I can help you choose and install the right charging station for your needs, making your transition to electric driving seamless.
4. Childproof Your Electrical System
If you’ve recently welcomed a new family member, like some of our friends, it’s essential to childproof your home. We can help you install safety covers, tamper-resistant outlets, and other child-friendly electrical solutions.
5. Prepare for Winter Weather
Don’t let power outages or electrical faults catch you off guard during the colder months. Invest in surge protectors and consider upgrading your outdoor lighting to weatherproof options for safety and visibility.
6. Plan Your Next Renovation
Thinking about a home or business renovation this year? Whether it’s a conservatory lighting upgrade like we completed in Stevenage or a full-scale rewiring project, we’re here to ensure your electrical needs are handled professionally and efficiently.
7. Go Smart
Smart homes are no longer a thing of the future; they’re the present! From voice-controlled lighting to advanced security systems, JB Electrical can guide you through integrating smart technology into your property.
