As we step into spring, it’s not just our gardens and homes that need a refresh—our electrical systems can benefit from an upgrade too! With longer daylight hours, warmer weather, and an increase in home improvement projects, now is the ideal time to assess and enhance your home’s electrical setup.
At Ward Electrics, we specialise in domestic electrical services across Bexhill-on-Sea, Cooden, Little Common, Eastbourne, St Leonard’s, Hastings, Hailsham, Battle, Polegate, and Pevensey Bay. Whether you need rewiring, outdoor lighting, or a new consumer unit, spring is the best time to make these changes. Here’s why:
1. Improve Home Safety with a Consumer Unit Upgrade
If your home still has an old-style fuse box, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a modern consumer unit. This is a crucial investment in your home’s safety, ensuring your electrical system meets the latest UK regulations.
Why upgrade your consumer unit?
✅ Enhanced Protection: Modern consumer units with RCDs (Residual Current Devices) reduce the risk of electric shocks and fires.
✅ Regulation Compliance: If you’re planning to sell or rent your home, your electrical system must meet current safety standards.
✅ Better Efficiency: A new unit ensures a smoother and more reliable power supply to your home.
At Ward Electrics, we offer professional consumer unit installations with minimal disruption, ensuring your home is safe and compliant.
2. Upgrade Your Outdoor Lighting & Power for Summer
With the warmer months ahead, many homeowners are looking forward to spending more time outdoors. Whether it’s relaxing in the garden, hosting BBQs, or creating an inviting outdoor space, outdoor electrical work can enhance your experience.
Key outdoor electrical upgrades to consider this spring:
✔️ Garden Lighting: Install LED spotlights, pathway lights, or deck lighting to create a beautiful and safe evening atmosphere.
✔️ Outdoor Sockets: Power up your garden tools, heaters, or sound systems effortlessly.
✔️ Shed Power Supply: Get electricity to your shed or summerhouse for lighting, sockets, or even a small workspace.
✔️ EV Charging Stations: If you own an electric vehicle, consider installing a dedicated EV charger at home.
As professional electricians in East Sussex, we can help design and install the perfect outdoor power setup to suit your needs.
3. Rewiring for Older Homes – Increase Efficiency & Safety
Spring is a great time for rewiring, as the improved weather allows electricians to carry out work more efficiently without the disruptions caused by winter conditions. If your home is over 30 years old and hasn’t had a full or partial rewire, it might be time to consider an upgrade.
Signs that your home may need rewiring:
⚡ Flickering or dimming lights
⚡ Frequent electrical trips or blown fuses
⚡ Outdated plug sockets with no switches
⚡ Burning smells or buzzing sounds from outlets
⚡ Exposed or deteriorating wiring
A full or partial rewire not only makes your home safer but also allows you to future-proof your property, ensuring it can handle modern appliances and technology.
4. Kitchen & Bathroom Fan Installations – Improve Ventilation
As the temperature rises, proper ventilation becomes even more important. Extractor fans in your kitchen and bathroom help to reduce moisture, prevent mould growth, and improve air quality.
Why install or upgrade an extractor fan?
Reduces humidity and condensation buildup
Prevents damp-related issues like mould and mildew
Removes odours and improves air circulation
Enhances energy efficiency in your home
Our team at Ward Electrics can install efficient kitchen and bathroom fans, ensuring your home stays fresh and comfortable.
5. Electrical Testing & Safety Inspections – Ensure Your Home is Safe
Before summer arrives, it’s a good idea to have an electrical safety check to identify any potential hazards. Our expert electricians offer EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) and electrical testing services to ensure your home is safe and compliant.
Who should consider an electrical inspection?
✔️ Homeowners with properties over 10 years old
✔️ Landlords needing an EICR for rental properties
✔️ Those planning major renovations or extensions
✔️ Anyone experiencing frequent electrical issues
A safety inspection can highlight potential risks, ensuring your home’s electrical system is functioning properly before any issues arise.
