5 Simple Electrical Upgrades That Make a Big Difference at Home
You don’t need a full rewire to improve your home. Some of the biggest upgrades we install take less than an hour — but make life safer, easier, and more comfortable every day.
Here are five electrical upgrades we’re installing all across Adelaide that can instantly improve how your home looks, feels, and functions.
1. Modern LED Downlights
Cleaner look than old oyster or batten lights
More energy efficient and longer-lasting
Warmer, adjustable colour options
Perfect for kitchens, living rooms, and hallways
💡 We also install dimmable options and gimbal-style for angled ceilings.
2. Ceiling Fans with Remote or Wall Control
Better air circulation in summer
Cost-effective compared to running your air conditioner
Available in modern styles to suit your home
Install them in bedrooms, lounges, or outdoor areas
⚙️ We offer both wired wall switches and remote control options.
3. Upgrade Your Power Points & Light Switches
Cracked, yellowed outlets are more than just ugly — they can be unsafe
USB power points are perfect for bedrooms and kitchens
Modern Clipsal styles improve the look of your walls instantly
Upgrade to black, brushed metal or matte white to match your home style
🔌 You use these every day — it’s worth having ones that are reliable and look great.
4. Smart Timers & Motion Sensors
Add a timer to your bathroom fan or outdoor lights
Install motion sensors on garden, laundry, or hallway lighting
Great for energy savings and security
No more forgetting to turn the light off
🧠 These upgrades often cost under $150 installed and make your home feel much more high-tech.
5. RCBO Safety Switches on Every Circuit
This one’s not flashy — but it’s the most important.
RCBOs protect you from electric shocks and overloads
Required on every new circuit in South Australia
Older homes often only have 1 or 2 RCDs for the whole board
We upgrade entire switchboards with neat, labelled RCBOs — full safety, no shortcuts
⚠️ If your switchboard still has ceramic fuses or only 1 safety switch, it’s time for a checkup.
🧠 Why These Small Upgrades Matter
Most of these can be installed during a normal service visit. They’re:
Affordable
Tidy
Modern
And make your home safer or more convenient immediately
These are the things we notice customers love most after we leave.
