Renovations are exciting but often expose outdated wiring, undersized power circuits, or poor lighting choices. A smart upgrade now can lift comfort, safety, and resale value. Here’s how Zapster Electrical handles lighting & power upgrades during renovations.
Common issues in older homes
- Insufficient circuits to support new appliances (OV ovens, induction cooktops)
- Old wiring not suited to modern loads
- Poor or uneven lighting design
- Unsafe switchboards or lack of RCD protection
What a full upgrade involves
- Circuit rewiring and load balancing
- Installing energy-efficient LED lighting (ambient, task, accent)
- Adding new power points (including USB or data-enabled outlets)
- Smart control / dimmer switches
- Safety upgrades (residual current devices, surge protection)
Benefits beyond aesthetics
- Lower electricity bills via efficient lighting
- Safer use of modern kitchen / bathroom appliances
- Better lighting zones for task areas (cooktops, benches, mirrors)
- Peace of mind with modern safety protections
How to plan your upgrade
- Assess likely appliance load
- Map lighting zones early
