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?

    To upgrade the gas main in the road where I live new plastic pipes were pushed up inside the old metal pipe, holes were only dug to insert joints, so not all the road and drives had trenches dug out in them, only additional holes where there were problems. My drive was untouched.


    To replace the electric cables would require trenches or a lot of nifty work with moles as well as holes to insert joints, it would be a huge amount of work far beyond what is required to replace the gas mains.
