The future of residential building electrical installations

Arran Cameron
This is a spin-off from the discussion What is the best way to wire ceiling lights.


What do you think is the future of residential building electrical installations in 20 to 30 years time? Will they in modern and modernised houses be significantly different from what they are today or will they most likely be barely changed from what they are today?


Will consumer demand be a driving force for change or will electricians only make changes from the status quo in order to comply with updated wiring regs?

    The new Zigbee enabled appliances and controllers will work alongside your smart meter to use the multiple tariffs to your advantage.


    You have to tread carefully with this one. It's no good if your smart meter sends out a control signal that prevents you from switching on a ceiling light (or the kettle!!) because the cost of a kWh is deemed too high at the moment.
