Summer Electrical Projects for Your Home

Summer is the perfect time to tackle electrical projects and updates around your home and in your yard. With a bit of attention, you can help give new life and energy to your house. Here are a few electrical projects that are perfect to accomplish this summer. Remember that working with any kind of electricity can be dangerous, so call on the professionals of Custom Electrical Services to help.

Install Ceiling Fans

One significant and practical consideration as warmer months approach is the installation of ceiling fans. Ceiling fans assist in improving the flow of air throughout your home and can help cut down your energy bill. Modern ceiling fans come in a wide range of styles and with improved features that aren’t just practical but beautiful as well.

Update Lighting, Inside and Out

Another way to add to your home's overall beauty and functionality is to update the lighting. One easy option to consider is dimmers for your lights. Adding dimmers to a room is the perfect way to set the right mood for any occasion. Make an ordinary dinner extraordinary, or turn a family movie night into a more cinematic experience with the right lighting.

Recessed and track lighting is another excellent way to update a space. Both recessed and track lighting are incredibly versatile and can brighten a room or allow for more mellow, soft light. With clever design, a room can appear larger, taller, or more intimate and cozy, depending on the time of day and style of lights used. In most cases, installing track or recessed lighting is relatively simple and involves minimal interruption to your life while making a big impact.

improves the security and safety of your home. Popular options include updating the lighting of your driveway and other pathways, the garden, and any group gathering places.

Extend Pool Season

If you have a pool, consider installing an electric pool heater. Not only does this allow you to maintain optimal temperature for your pool, but it may also extend the number of days a year that you can comfortably go for a dip!

Create a Backup Plan

In addition to aesthetic updates, there are some practical updates to consider. Summer is an ideal time to install a standby generator. A standby generator is valuable for homes where someone has medical equipment that runs on electricity or for those who work from home, as well as in an emergency.

Suppose the power goes out in your area due to an accident or inclement weather. In that case, a standby generator will allow your home to maintain power. This can save you not only from minor inconveniences but from dangerous situations as well.

Whether you're thinking of a minor update or a larger one, we recommend consulting the experts of Custom Electrical Services .

Had these guys and gals help me update my electrical as well as run some power out to a shop. The whole process was super smooth, Kourtnie nailed the paperwork side of things (even got a permit and inspection that I had no idea we needed) and Cory was great to work with on the installation side of things. The price was the same from the original bid all the way to the final product, which is always nice. The work itself was exactly what we agreed upon. Really nothing but good things to say about my whole experience. Would totally recommend these guys to any of my friends!

We are so appreciative of the work that Morgan and his team did on behalf of Custom Electrical for our new home. Custom Electrical provided a thorough, exact, and honest/fair bid right from the start, and they stuck to it! We had a budget, and they respected it. They were always timely and very professional. Attention was paid to every detail, and they made sure things were just how we wanted them. They went above and beyond in so many ways, from being patient with our kids running around to coming back an extra time to make sure everything was just right. We will be recommending them to everyone we know. Thanks you guys!

5 stars and a forever customer! My family moved into an older home and we've had Custom Electric over several times to help get our home working a bit more how I would like it. I appreciate that I am always able to get someone to my home quickly- whether it's to install a light switch or rewire an entire room. Everyone who's been in my home has been professional, friendly, and consistent in their quality work. Maybe most of all, I am grateful for the honest communication and great customer service! After the last visit, I had some concerns that were cleared up right away with kindness and respect (especially for dealing with a not so electrical savvy me). I would send everyone I know and love who have electrical need to Custom Electric- they won't let you down!!

We had a baseboard heater stop working in our baby's room. Custom Electric came out and quickly repaired the problem. Scheduling was easy, the technicians and staff were all very professional and great to work with. When we need electrical work done in the future, we will definitely be working with them again.

These guys/gals are always very helpful. I got a tech out to the house same day I called to repair a GFI receptacle that kept tripping open. Cory (technician) troubleshoot the problem, corrected it and was gone in about 30 minutes. I have used them for other projects with no complaints. I use them without hesitation for any electrical issues.
