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?

    Actually that is relevant. Installing electric ignition to existing gas lights is an example of using new technology to improve the existing systems without replacing them.


    So maybe domestic electrical installations will just stay the same with smart switching to lighting and appliances to accommodate changes to lifestyle, availability of supplies and tariffs.
