Looking to boost your property’s value, safety, and energy efficiency? Some well-chosen electrical upgrades can make a big difference—not just in how your home works, but how it’s perceived by buyers and tenants.

At SOLV Electrical, we help homeowners across South Wales modernise their electrics and future-proof their properties.

Here are 5 smart upgrades worth considering:

---

1. ⚡ Upgrade Your Consumer Unit (Fuse Box)

An old fuse box is a red flag for many buyers. Modern consumer units come with RCD protection and are fully compliant with current regulations—providing better safety and peace of mind.

Benefits:
✔️ Safer electrical system
✔️ Essential for modern appliances
✔️ Helps meet legal standards for rentals

---

2. 🚗 Install an EV Charger

Electric vehicle ownership is rising fast. Installing a home EV charger now makes your property more appealing to eco-conscious buyers or future-proofs it for your own needs.

Benefits:
✔️ Adds modern convenience
✔️ Potentially increases resale value
✔️ Can be integrated with solar systems

---

3. 🌐 Add More Sockets and USB Outlets

Older homes often lack enough plug sockets—especially in bedrooms, kitchens, or offices. Adding extra outlets, especially with USB charging, improves day-to-day usability and avoids extension leads.

Benefits:
✔️ Makes life easier
✔️ Great for home offices and family living
✔️ Increases practicality and tidiness

---

4. 💡 Switch to LED Lighting

Swapping halogen or fluorescent bulbs for LED lighting reduces energy bills and improves the look of your home. We can even install smart lighting systems with timers, dimmers, or app control.

Benefits:
✔️ Lower energy costs
✔️ Longer bulb life
✔️ Sleek modern appearance

---

5. 🛋️ Install Outdoor and Security Lighting

Outdoor lighting adds style and safety—great for entertaining, kerb appeal, and deterring intruders. Motion-activated security lights are also a selling point for families and landlords.

Benefits:
✔️ Enhances safety and security
✔️ Adds visual appeal
✔️ Practical for driveways and patios
