7 Ways to Prepare Your Home’s Electrical System for Summer
1. Pool and garden lights
The summer months encourage us out into the outdoors, as we enjoy more sunlight in the evenings and warmer temperatures. This might include barbecues or nights by the pool. You should be thinking about your outdoor settings in spring, so you are ready for entertaining come summer. Your local electrician Panania or electrician Revesby can install pool and garden lights to spruce up your outdoor space.
2. Ceiling fan installation
Keeping cool is a top priority in summer. If you don’t have an air-conditioner installed, you could consider one, but sometimes a more energy-efficient solution is a ceiling fan. This allows you to contain your cooling to one room, or to target areas of the house the air-conditioner can’t reach. It’s also a sure way to avoid family arguments about temperature control! Ceiling fans installed by your electrician Sylvania or electrician West Pennant Hills may also suit your sheltered outdoor entertaining areas.
3. Smoke alarms
Fire safety is important year-round, and working smoke alarms are a must at every time of year. However, during the bushfire season, the extreme heat can contribute to fire risk and makes it especially wise to ensure your current systems are working. If they’re not installed, you should have this done immediately by your electrician Castle Hill.
4. Hot water system repairs and installations
We often fantasize about cool water in summer, but a hot water system that functions effectively can make all the difference in the warmer months. Firstly, some may see the hotter months as an excellent opportunity to have their electrician Five Dock undertake repairs or maintenance of their hot water system. Others may seek to have this done before summer comes, because they know that there’ll be more need to shower during the hot, sweaty summer months.
5. Electrical safety inspection
A safe electrical system that is well-maintained, capable of meeting the demands that the household places on it, and suitably protected is essential year-round. An electrical safety inspection may include assessing electrical hazards, wires, circuits, power points, smoke alarms, the meter box, and other electrical features of your home. Ask your electrician in Sydney about a residential electrical safety inspection.
6. Home theatre and audio-visual systems
Plenty of entertaining occurs during summer when many people are on holiday and the warm evenings make us feel social. But there are also some wet and wild nights that are surprisingly cool and drive us indoors. Whether it’s just as a family or with all the friends over, you’ll want a home theatre and audio-visual system that ensures you can enjoy all your favourite songs, shows, and movies.
7. CCTV installation
If you’re going on holidays over summer, you may want to consider CCTV installation Sydney. CCTV can deter potential thieves from entering your home or considering it a target, and also provide a recording that can be used in the investigation of any incidents that do occur. Ask your electrician Five Dock, electrician Lindfield, electrician Marsfield, or electrician Oatlands for more information on CCTV.
