When it comes to selling your home, small upgrades can make a big difference—especially when it comes to your electrical system. Buyers today are not only looking for stylish finishes and updated kitchens—they also want a safe, energy-efficient, and tech-ready home.

At Lynn Electric, we help homeowners across Kansas and the KC Metro area make smart, value-boosting improvements. Here are the top five electrical upgrades that can increase your home’s resale value:

1. Electrical Panel Upgrade

Outdated panels can’t always handle the power demands of modern appliances, EV chargers, or home automation systems. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel not only improves performance—it also assures buyers that the home is future-ready.

2. Whole-Home Surge Protection

Power surges from storms or grid issues can damage appliances and electronics. Installing whole-home surge protection is a relatively low-cost upgrade that shows buyers you’ve taken steps to protect the home.

3. Energy-Efficient Lighting

Replacing outdated fixtures with LED lighting or adding recessed can lights creates a modern feel. Energy-efficient lighting can also help reduce utility bills—something buyers love.

4. GFCI and AFCI Outlets

Homes without updated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas may not pass inspection. AFCI outlets offer added protection against electrical fires. These updates are a must for code compliance and peace of mind.

5. Smart Home Pre-Wiring

Buyers love homes with smart tech potential. Running proper wiring for smart thermostats, doorbells, cameras, and Wi-Fi-enabled switches gives your home a modern edge in the market.
