While the major part of building a home involves utilising vast quantities of bricks and cement, the process also requires a variety of electrical supplies. It might not always seem very obvious because we are not so aware of these items. But in this article we will go through the electrical supplies required for building a modern home.
House building is big business in Britain. It employs many thousands of people across the country and as new homes are constantly in demand, it is an industry that is likely to continue being a very substantial earner for British people and not forgetting the British Government's tax revenues.
Electrical supplies are of course not simply a luxury - they are a necessity. Electric cables have to be put in while the house is being built - as this is much easier than doing it afterwards! These cables draw in the mains electricity and distribute it to the various power outlets around the house. This is of course a pre-requisite for houses, as things need to be plugged in - not least cooking devices.
Hooked up to the electricity supply will also be the boiler system, which needs various electrical supplies in order to function; of course this system is used for heating water both in terms of washing dishes and of course for showers and baths. While gas boilers are also common these days across Britain, they do in fact need a certain amount of electricity to function.
Another crucial part of electrical supplies in a new house is the fitting of lights. Without lighting we cannot see anything when it is dark or indeed overcast - so all houses are fitted with lighting. A very important aspect of electrical supplies - especially over recent years - is that of light bulbs. There is a lot of pressure for people to use energy saving light bulbs - and over the course of a year they have been proven to save a substantial amount of money.
Not only this, but the main reason for their implementation is to reduce energy consumption in order to reduce pressure on the planet's dwindling resources.
Other electrical supplies that will be placed into a new home include electronic devices controlling the heating level inside the house and devices that control cooker hoods (which draw out cooking smells so that the kitchen does not stink of last night's curry for ages) and washing machine mains switches.
