A Spark For Your Outdoor Space

The temperatures are rising, the days are longer, the air is sweeter, the world is brighter— it’s summertime. 

This time of year is often spent with friends and family, exploring new places, leisurely relaxing and enjoying a few extra moments of spontaneity and relaxation. It can also be a time of year filled with home projects, DIY solutions and renovations. 

If you are spending your summer finding ways to improve your home so that next year you can relax and enjoy your hard work, here are a few ideas to spark some inspiration.

1. Install a Pool or Hot Tub in Your Backyard

There’s no better way to make a splash this summer than by installing a pool or hot tub in your backyard. Think about it now, this time next year you could be sitting back, soaking up the hot summer sun and diving into your best life yet.

If this is on your summer project list, get connected with the team at NuBlue for hot tub and pool installation electrical hookups. It’s no secret that water and electricity do not mix which is why you’ll want to work with the professionals on this type of project. 

2. Upgrade Your Landscape Lighting

If you want to be able to enjoy more time outside year-round, one of the best ways to do so is by installing landscape lighting. The Luxor Landscape Lighting system allows you to change the colors of the lights and the time they go on and off with the click of a button.

3. Update Your Outdoor Outlets

Do you need more outlets installed around the outside of your house so that you can hang your market lights, plug in the electric grill, or other appliances in your outdoor kitchen? Whether you need new outlets installed or old outlets replaced, the NuBlue team is here to help!

4. Install A Ceiling Fan

Do you have a screened-in porch that feels muggy throughout the summer season? There’s no air flow and you feel like you are slowly suffocating when you try to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. If this sounds familiar, it may be time to install a ceiling fan on your patio or screened-in porch. Ceiling fans can help circulate the air and make your space more comfortable so that you can enjoy it no matter the season. 

5. Keep Your Home and Family Safe

If you will be traveling more of the summer and leaving your home unattended, you may worry about the safety of your home. Installing a Ring doorbell or security camera can give you the peace of mind you’ve been looking for. NuBlue’s certified electricians can walk you through your options and help you find the right Ring product to fit your needs. 

6. Invest in a Whole Home Generator

Severe thunderstorms, hurricanes, hail storms, and wind storms threaten our homes during the summer season. Trees could fall on power lines, high gusts of wind could knock out the power and hurricanes could take down power lines for days. If you want to ensure that your home is protected no matter what the weather is like, a whole home generator is the right investment for you. NuBlue is a Generac Certified Dealer and can help you find the right whole-home generator to keep your home safe and the lights on during some of life’s darkest moments. 

However you are spending your summer, we hope you are finding ways to light up your life. NuBlue is proud to be a full-service electrical contractor servicing Charlotte, Lake Norman, Greenville and the surrounding regions throughout North Carolina.
