Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We install Sockets and Switches in Braintree.

Upgrading your home’s sockets and switches might seem like a small project, but it can make a big difference in your daily life—especially if you live in an area like Braintree, where many homes have old electrical systems.

By updating sockets and switches, you can improve safety and enjoy the convenience of modern features, such as USB or USB-C ports for charging your devices.

Why Consider an Upgrade?

Many homes in Braintree have wiring that has been in place for years. Over time, wires can wear out, and old sockets may stop working correctly. This can pose a fire risk or lead to frequent power trips. Upgrading your switches and sockets ensures no electrical faults and can be matched to your latest décor/interior design while making your home more efficient. Modern Sockets can include USB and USB-C charging ports, so you don’t need to rely on plugin adapters.

Types of Sockets and Switches

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to upgrading. Some homeowners prefer single sockets to keep walls uncluttered, while others need double sockets in busy rooms like the living area or kitchen. Cooker switches are essential for safely controlling power to your oven or hob. Light switches and dimmers help set the mood in your home. If you want to go further, smart sockets and switches allow remote control of lights and appliances.

A Range of Colours and Materials

Modern sockets and switches are available in various finishes. You can choose standard white plastic for a clean, subtle look or brushed metal and chrome for a more modern look. Some homeowners go for matte black or stainless steel to match contemporary interiors. There are also decorative trims in brass or nickel for those who prefer a more traditional style. With such flexibility, it’s easy to find sockets and switches that complement any room.

Future-Proofing Your Home

Technology moves fast, and many homes have multiple devices that need regular charging. Installing USB or USB-C sockets means charging phones and tablets without searching for adapters. Smart sockets and switches allow you to control lights and connected appliances from your phone or even schedule them to turn on and off at specific times.

Professional Installation You Can Trust

Electrical work isn’t just about swapping out a socket. Regulations are in place to protect you, your family, and your property. Hiring an experienced Electrician ensures the installation aligns with BS 7671, the leading standard for electrical safety. Our Electricians begin with an assessment, checking your wiring before installing new sockets or switches. Throughout the process, we focus on quality and meticulous attention to detail to ensure your sockets and switches are installed correctly and are safe for use.
