Electrical home improvements can have a huge impact on our homes overall appearance, not to mention the more practical benefits - from space saving to less energy usage.

EMC Electrical Group regularly assists homeowners on electrical home improvements they can make that don’t break the bank.
Socket upgrades
Many of us are far too familiar with the box standard white wall sockets. If you hide them, they become hard to reach but having them on full show can become a bit of an eye-sore especially when you’ve worked so hard to curate a space you’re proud of. By upgrading your wall sockets you can choose a finish which works with your Bristol home's decor plus you can add USB ports streamlining your charging routine. Adding in USB ports is particularly popular with older homeowners where sockets are few and far between.
Endless design options
As with most things in our modern world, wall sockets are available in a wide range of colours and finishes. This gives you the opportunity to select a non obtrusive socket that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb! From chrome to brass, the colour options are endless. If you’re unsure where to start, we will always look at the existing hardware within your home such as window latches and door handles - choosing sockets to complement these features curates a cohesive feel which will flow throughout your home. This is particularly relevant if your home is of architectural or historic interest.
Can sockets be moved?
Inconvenient socket placement is common, especially in older homes in Bristol. Thankfully, wall sockets can be moved to more convenient, easier to reach areas. This job can be legally done by a non professional but please, save yourself the hassle and hire a fully competent electrician. We’re often called out to repair faulty sockets that have been incorrectly installed.
Can I add extra sockets?
With so many devices requiring electricity to function, it can feel like you’ve never quite got enough sockets in your home. This is especially common in kitchens - with our fancy coffee machines, milk frothers and of course the air fryer, adding an extra socket can make a huge difference in our everyday life. Having a sufficient amount of sockets also limits the need to use extension leads. Before we add any extra sockets in your home we will always ensure your electrical system is in a position to power this additional outlet. Adding more sockets to an already outdated, stressed electrical system can be dangerous.
Energy saving benefits
Upgrading the wall sockets within your home can even cut down your energy costs. Modern sockets are designed to be more energy efficient, allowing you to save more pennies!
