If you’ve transitioned to a home office, you’ve likely converted a bedroom into a workspace. If you haven’t done more than move in some office furniture, there are some ways you can vastly improve your working environment.
Westland Electric is a knowledgeable and reputable electrical company in Calgary. They share some ways you can improve your electrical for a more productive home office:
Improve your office lighting
Bedroom lighting was not designed for office work. A more functional lighting plan will include ambient lighting, like recessed fixtures, and task lighting at your workspaces. You can also have decorative or accent lighting in certain areas to create warmth and visual appeal. Better lighting will boost your energy, reduce eyestrain and headaches, and improve your ability to work effectively! This article shares some great tips for better home office lighting.
Improve your connectivity
Most home wireless networks run on a single router serving the entire house. If your office is not close enough to the router, or if too many people are using the internet simultaneously, you could suffer from poor connectivity. Also, with video conferencing and streaming required for working from home, you’ll need to find a solution to make it work.
Electricians in Calgary can run network wiring and wireless network repeaters throughout your house extending and strengthening your wireless network to ensure a high-quality connection wherever you are working.
For some neighbourhoods, you might need help connecting to fibre optic internet. The internet service provider and electrical utility might bring the service to the street, but an electrician can run a conduit to your home to access the service. Some rural properties are far from the infrastructure necessary to provide broadband internet access, but the best electricians in Calgary can help you connect for faster and better internet access.
More outlets
If your home office is in a bedroom or another space in the house, it probably doesn’t have enough power outlets to meet your needs. Most bedrooms have three or four outlets maximum. However, if you need to run computers, printers, and other office equipment, you’ll need more than that. Calgary electricians can assess your needs and install enough outlets to more effectively run your equipment at locations in the room that make the most sense. In addition, more outlets will eliminate the need for extension cords and crowded power bars. They can even install outlets that include USB charging ports for your devices.
