Start the New Year Bright: Top Electrical Tips for 2025

As we welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to ensure your home or business is powered up for success! At Ferguson Electrical, we’re committed to keeping Melbourne properties safe, energy-efficient, and well-lit. Here are our top electrical tips to help you kick off the new year on the right foot.

1. Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Lighting

LED lights are not just a trend—they’re a smart investment. Swapping out outdated incandescent or fluorescent bulbs for energy-efficient LEDs can significantly reduce your energy bills. Plus, they last longer, saving you money on replacements.

2. Test Your Safety Switches

Start the year safely by testing your home’s safety switches. Simply press the ‘test’ button on your switchboard to ensure they’re working correctly. If the power doesn’t trip, it’s time to call an electrician.

3. Plan for Renovations

Planning a renovation this year? Ensure your electrical system is up to the task. Whether you’re adding new appliances, upgrading your kitchen, or creating a home office, Ferguson Electrical can help design and install a system to meet your needs.

4. Consider Smart Home Solutions

Bring your home into the future with smart home technology. From automated lighting and climate control to enhanced security systems, we can install and integrate solutions that make your life easier and more efficient.

5. Schedule a Maintenance Check

Electrical maintenance often gets overlooked but is crucial for preventing costly issues. Start the year right by booking a professional inspection to ensure your wiring, switchboards, and outlets are in top condition.

6. Check Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms save lives. Test all your alarms to ensure they’re functioning properly and replace any outdated units. Remember, Victorian law requires interconnected smoke alarms in new homes and renovations.
