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?

    Permanently-on USB sockets built into BS1363 socket outlets also: make IR testing harder; are likely to be poorly manufactured, so you've suddenly got a lot of extra electronics permanently on that are likely to go up in smoke at some point; and will become quickly obsolete when USB X.0 or USB-D or whatever comes out.


    I would never have them in my house.
