Spring Time Upgrades!

As the weather warms up and the days get longer, many of us start thinking about spring cleaning. Getting our houses ready for the summer, cleaning out drawers, getting rid of all the garbage around the house. During this time of year is the best time to make those dream renovations to your house that you have been wanting.

Basements and Additions

If you’ve spent the winter planning a new bedroom,  a home office, or a finished basement, you’re likely already looking at flooring and paint. However, the foundation of those projects starts with your power. When you add square footage, and you add more outlets, devices, lights, your electrical system may need to be upgraded to allow for that increased demand.

• Circuit Capacity: We often help homeowners determine if their current panel can handle the extra load or if a sub-panel is needed to keep things running safely without tripping breakers.

• Adding Outlets: We can help you when you are remodeling by adding any outlets you need. Making sure you have the power in any place you need 

Small Changes:

You don’t need a massive renovation to make your home feel updated. Often, the most satisfying upgrades are the ones you interact with every day. Like fixing loose outlets, flickering lights, or new light fixtures.

Outlets:

• Fixing Loose outlets: We all hate loose old outlets. And when they get like that they can actually be a hazard to your home. And replacing them is the only way to fix them. And replacing them is a nice way to freshen up your house this spring.

• Modern Aesthetics: Replacing old, yellowed, or worn-out switches with sleek, decora-style dimmers can make a room feel cleaner and more contemporary.

  
  

Lighting and Air

As the sun stays out longer, you might notice areas of your home that feel dim. Spring upgrades are a great way to improve the "feel" of a room.

• Recessed Lighting: If a room relies on a single overhead light, switching to recessed LED cans can make the space feel larger and more high-end.

• Ceiling Fan Installation: Before the summer heat arrives, consider adding or replacing ceiling fans. Modern fans are quiet and efficient, helping circulate fresh air while lowering cooling costs.

• Task Lighting: Adding LED strips under kitchen cabinets or puck lights in closets makes those spaces significantly more functional for cooking and organizing.
