If you’re a homeowner in Lincolnshire, particularly in older properties, you might not realise how much modern electrical upgrades can improve your home’s safety and reduce your energy bills. At Quantum Electrical Services, we specialise in helping homeowners across Lincolnshire bring their homes up to current electrical standards — ensuring peace of mind, lower costs, and enhanced comfort.
Why Upgrade Your Electrical System?
Older homes, especially those over 30 years old, often have outdated wiring, fuse boards, and limited sockets. This can lead to:
Higher energy consumption
Fire hazards
Frequent blown fuses or tripped breakers
Inconvenience caused by insufficient sockets and reliance on extension leads
Modern electrical upgrades address these problems and add new benefits.
Key Electrical Upgrades That Save Money and Improve Safety
1. Installing Energy-Efficient LED Lighting
Switching to LED lighting reduces electricity use by up to 80% compared to traditional bulbs, cutting your energy bills significantly. LEDs also last longer, meaning fewer replacements.
2. Upgrading to a Modern Consumer Unit with RCD Protection
Older fuse boxes lack modern safety features like Residual Current Devices (RCDs) which protect you from electrical shocks and reduce fire risk. A new consumer unit with RCDs or RCBOs offers far superior protection.
3. Adding Extra Sockets and Circuits
Limited sockets mean you might rely on extension leads and adaptors, which can be dangerous and inefficient. Adding more sockets ensures your electrical appliances run safely and comfortably.
4. Installing Surge Protection
Power surges from lightning or grid faults can damage your electronics. Surge protection devices help safeguard your expensive equipment and prevent costly replacements.
5. Rewiring When Needed
If your home’s wiring is old, damaged, or no longer meets UK wiring regulations (BS 7671), a rewire might be the best way to futureproof your property and improve overall electrical efficiency.
