Upgrade Your Home’s PowerPoints & Switches

At Benchmark Electrical, we know that the small details in your home can make a big difference. Powerpoints and switches may seem like simple components of your electrical system. Still, outdated or faulty fixtures can pose safety risks, limit your electrical needs, and detract from your home’s aesthetic. Upgrading and replacing powerpoints and switches is a smart move that enhances safety, convenience, and modern style.

Why You Should Consider Upgrading Your PowerPoints & Switches

Improve Electrical Safety

Outdated or damaged powerpoints and switches are not just unsightly; they can also be dangerous. Loose or faulty connections can lead to electrical fires, shocks, or malfunctions. Upgrading to modern, high-quality fixtures ensures that your electrical system runs safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected.

Increase Electrical Capacity

Older powerpoints may be overloaded with the growing number of electrical devices and appliances in modern homes. If you regularly use extension cords or power strips, it may be time to upgrade. Installing additional or more advanced powerpoints provides greater flexibility and capacity, reducing strain on your electrical system and making your home more functional.

Modernise Your Home’s Look

Old, discoloured switches and powerpoints can make your home look dated. Upgrading to sleek, modern designs can instantly refresh the appearance of any room. Whether you opt for contemporary switch plates or stylish powerpoints with USB ports, the upgrade adds a subtle touch of modern sophistication to your home.

Add Convenience with New Features

Newer powerpoints and switches come with advanced features designed to make life easier. Upgrading gives you access to the latest technology, from USB charging ports built into powerpoints to smart switches that can be controlled remotely. These innovations provide convenience and efficiency, making your home more adaptable to modern living.

Enhance Energy Efficiency

Upgrading to energy-efficient switches, such as dimmer switches or motion-activated lighting controls, can reduce your energy consumption and lower your electricity bills. These switches allow you to control lighting levels and usage more precisely, ensuring that energy is only used when necessary.

Common Signs You Need to Replace or Upgrade PowerPoints & Switches

• Frequent Flickering or Sparking: If you notice sparks or flickering when using your powerpoints or switches, it’s a clear sign they need attention.
• Discolouration or Burns Around PowerPoints: This is a major safety concern and indicates overheating or a potential fire hazard.
• Loose or Wobbly Switches/PowerPoints: Fixtures that feel loose can lead to faulty connections and pose a risk of electric shock.
• Cracks or Damage: Physical damage to switches and powerpoints is not just a cosmetic issue – it can expose wiring and create safety hazards.
