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?

    Right now most of the time the whole house could be put on a 13A plug and fed from next door, apart from meal times and instant showers.




    Very true if you factor out washing machines and anything with a heating element.


    This is why I dislike the current cap as it severely restricts short term peak loads but is limited in its effect to reduce energy consumption over a longer period of time.
