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?

    Based on the French system, having chosen your tariff based on the maximum demand you are prepared to pay the standing charge for the meter operator will set and seal your main switch, the disjoncteur d’abonne, to trip if you exceed your agreed maximum demand.

    “Everything upstream of the circuit breaker is supported by your supplier. The circuit breaker itself is sealed according to the maximum power allowed by your subscriber contract (15 A, 30 A, 45 A or 60 A). You can not touch it or involve an independent professional.”.
