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?

    Chris Pearson:


    I don't really see how current limitation helps.




    I struggle to see the logic behind it. Customers should be charged by how many kWh they consume rather than how many amps they are allowed to consume even momentarily.




    Sparkingchip:

    You agree to pay a standing charge based on your agreed maximum demand, the more you ask to have made available to you the more you pay.


    Then the smart meter applies six different tariffs depending on the time of day and which day it is.




    Are you seriously saying that the UK should adopt this system? If so, then why?
