Top 10 Home Improvements For 2025 Part 1

With the new year comes new opportunities for home improvement. The slow winter months are a great time to get projects done. We’ve put together the top 10 upgrades you should consider in 2025. This is only part one of our list, so stay tuned for part two. 

1. Heat Pump

If you haven't already installed a heat pump, this is the number one upgrade we recommend in 2025. Rather than directly generating heat, heat pump transfers heat from one place to another. This makes them more effective at climate control than baseboard heaters or electric furnaces. You could also qualify for up to $2,000 in rebates, easily making this our top recommendation.

2. GCCI Outlets

Upgrading to GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlets are much safer whenever outlets and appliances may be near water. By automatically ceasing the flow of electricity in the event of a fault, GFCI outets help prevent shocks, electrocution, and burns.

3. Smart Lighting

We've talked about smart lighting before, and it really is a great addition to any home. With the ability to be controlled from a smartphone or prescheduled, smart lights can enhance the security of your home. Out of town? Program your normal lighting routine to automatically come on and off so it looks like you're home. The convenience and safety of smart lighting makes it one of our favorite home upgrades.

4. Upgraded Electrical Panel

Many older electrical panels can't handle the demands of modern appliances. By installing a higher capacity panel, you can accommodate more modern features in your home. This increases the safety and efficiency of your entire electrical system.

5. Docking Drawers

Tired of having a mess of charging cables out on your counter? Docking Drawers are a great way to hide all of those messy cables. They provide hidden charging ports in your drawers so you can keep your home looking clean and tidy, without reducing functionality.
