The past ten years have brought major shifts in how Londoners power their homes, businesses, and lifestyles. From smart homes and electric vehicles to tighter safety regulations and a green energy revolution, the electrical industry has transformed at a rapid pace.
At Lumiel (formerly Tutrakan LTD), we’ve been hands-on through every change. Here's a breakdown of how the electrical world around us has evolved—and what it means for homeowners, builders, and property managers across London.
A decade ago, solar panels were still relatively rare on London rooftops. Fast forward to today, and demand has soared. Thanks to better technology, falling installation costs, and a stronger focus on sustainability, homeowners are now prioritising energy-efficient upgrades. We've seen a massive shift toward:
This trend isn’t slowing down—it’s becoming the new standard for modern living.
Electric vehicles have gone from niche to mainstream in London. With ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zones) and the push toward cleaner transport, we’ve seen an explosion in EV charger installations—especially in residential driveways, apartment blocks, and commercial car parks.
At Lumiel, EV charger installation is now one of our most requested services. It’s no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Voice-controlled lights, automated heating, security systems—all part of today’s electrical norm. London homes are becoming smarter, and electricians must be up to date with:
Clients want convenience, efficiency, and a seamless user experience—so we’ve adapted our skills accordingly.
The last 10 years have brought updates to the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations, tighter controls around EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports), and more frequent landlord certificate requirements.
We’ve learned that staying compliant isn’t just about being legal—it’s about keeping homes and tenants safe. That’s why certifications like NICEIC and regular training are essential for any trusted electrician in London.
Londoners expect speed. Whether it’s a blown fuse, a garden light upgrade, or an urgent rewire, response times have become a key deciding factor when choosing an electrician. We’ve adapted by offering:
Convenience is no longer optional—it’s expected.
As outdoor spaces became more important—especially post-2020—we’ve seen a growing demand for garden lighting, deck lighting, and automated outdoor setups. These are no longer luxury features; they’re integrated into overall home design plans.
The challenge? Balancing durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic impact. But that’s where expert lighting design makes all the difference.
Thanks to online reviews, social media, and DIY guides, customers today are more informed than ever. They ask sharper questions, know about brands like Tesla and Wallbox, and expect transparency in pricing and process.
We see this as a good thing—it keeps the industry accountable and raises standards across the board.
Clients don’t just want safe and functional—they want sustainable. Whether it’s eco-certified smoke detectors or low-energy LED lighting, green choices are influencing decisions at every stage of the project.
At Lumiel, our commitment to eco-friendly practices has never been stronger—from recycling materials to recommending low-consumption solutions.
The last decade brought disruption, innovation, and higher expectations—and we welcomed every bit of it. At Lumiel, we’ve grown with the industry, adapting our tools, skills, and mindset to meet the moment.
As London continues to evolve, we’re ready to power the next generation of homes and buildings—safely, smartly, and sustainably.
