Hi, my name is Henry. I grew up in an old home and saw my parents frequently tackle projects such as rewiring the home or installing new garage doors to meet updated safety standards. As a kid, it just felt like a lot of busy activity, but as I got older and began working in real estate, I could see how essential these tasks were to owners of old homes. If you are a new homeowner with an old home, you are in for a treat, but you will also face challenges inherent with owning a home with old wiring. To help you, this blog has tips on repairing, rewiring and assessing the electricity in old homes. Thanks for reading!

Are you interested in hiring an electrician to install electrical systems in your home in order to upgrade it but are not familiar with the range of services an electrician can offer you? Nowadays there are many different electrical systems that can be installed by a qualified electrician. If you have the components of the different system at your house then the electrician could install them all for you. Getting one electrician to perform the installation services can save you money. Here are some of the top home installation services that electricians offer:

  • Whole house sound systems: Imagine having the ability to play music from your sound system to any rooms in your home or all the rooms at once. You could even have the sound system installed in the bathroom, kitchen, garage, basement and attic – there are no limitations. Such wiring will run through the walls, and the speakers will typically be built into the walls too. The advantage of having such a system is that it won't get in the way, and all the wiring is out of sight. Such sound systems can also be linked up to your TV entertainment systems in addition to the music one.
  • Security systems: If you are interested in getting burglar alarms and CCTV units installed, then a qualified electrician can do that job for you. Security systems nowadays are sophisticated enough to be connected to a feature that will automatically alert a security service in the event of a break in. Other features you could ask for include the ability for the CCTV live feeds to be viewed from any monitor within the home.
  • Sharing of video signals: Do you sometimes wish that you could share a video with other members of the household without having to get out of your seat. Well you can do that by having wiring installed that will allow multiple monitors in the house to view the same image.
  • Solar lighting: if you are interested in energy efficient lighting then the go to choice is solar lighting. An electrician can install such lighting so that the cost of lighting up your home is reduced. With enough solar panels, you could potentially have all of the lighting in your home be powered by the energy of the sunlight. Consequently, the cost of having the solar lighting installed can pay for itself over the long run in the form of lower energy bills.
