Renovation Trends of 2025: Go Green, Go Electric

Introduction

If you’ve been scrolling through home renovation videos lately, you’ve probably noticed one big theme — sustainability.

Homeowners everywhere are swapping out gas stoves for induction cooktops, adding solar panels, and upgrading old wiring to handle today’s energy-hungry lifestyle.

Welcome to the age of electrification, where going green doesn’t just mean saving the planet — it also means saving on your electric bill and future-proofing your home.

1️⃣ Smart Homes Start With Smart Power

More homes are being designed with smart systems from the ground up — lighting, thermostats, and appliances that communicate with each other and help manage power use automatically.

But here’s the part most people miss:

those systems still rely on solid electrical foundations — correct wiring, updated panels, and surge protection.

If your home is older, a quick electrical inspection before adding smart upgrades can prevent overloads or hidden faults later.

2️⃣ Electric Kitchens Are Taking Over

One of the biggest home trends this year? Induction cooking.

Gas stoves are being replaced with smooth, energy-efficient cooktops that heat faster and waste less energy.

They’re safer for kids, easier to clean, and don’t release indoor pollutants.

All they need is the right outlet and a properly rated circuit — which is where a licensed electrician comes in.

✅ Pro tip: If your kitchen still runs on older circuits, upgrading to 240V for your cooktop or oven can make your cooking setup safer and more efficient.

3️⃣ Solar + Battery Systems Are No Longer “Luxury Upgrades”

With energy prices rising and blackouts still a concern in many states, solar panels and home battery systems are becoming the new standard.

They let homeowners store energy during the day and use it at night — reducing reliance on the grid and keeping the lights on during outages.

More builders are designing homes with built-in solar and battery readiness, and electricians play a key role in making those systems code-compliant and safe.

4️⃣ Electric Vehicle Chargers in Every Garage

EV ownership keeps climbing, and homeowners are realizing that plugging a car into a regular outlet isn’t practical.

Installing a Level 2 charger at home is now one of the most common renovation requests.

These chargers need a dedicated line, proper breaker sizing, and GFCI protection to stay safe and efficient.

If you’re remodeling your garage or driveway area, it’s smart to add EV wiring while walls are open — it saves time, money, and mess later.

5️⃣ Better Lighting, Less Energy

LEDs have been around for a while, but the latest generation of smart LEDs can automatically adjust brightness, color, and energy use based on the time of day.

Pair that with motion sensors and timers, and you’ve got a home that feels modern and trims energy costs.

✅ FBE Tip: When upgrading lighting, don’t just swap bulbs — check that your dimmers and wiring are compatible with LED and smart systems. Old switches can cause flicker or shorten bulb life.
