Maintaining a safe and efficient home relies heavily on a properly functioning electrical system. Unfortunately, outdated, or defective wiring can pose significant risks and disrupt the smooth operation of your household. It is essential to be aware of certain warning signs that indicate the necessity of our comprehensive electrical rewiring services. By promptly addressing the following indications, you can enhance the safety and performance of your home's electrical infrastructure:

• Outdated House Wiring – Aging house wiring poses significant safety risks, and it's important to address specific types of wiring known for their hazards. This includes aluminum wiring used in the '60s and '70s, non-metallic wiring from the '40s and '50s, and knob and tube wiring found in pre-1930s homes. It's essential to promptly attend to lose connections and frayed wires.
• Two-Pronged, Ungrounded Outlets – Two-pronged outlets lack proper grounding, which can lead to damage to electronic devices and increased risk of harm. Installing grounded wires and three-pronged outlets is recommended to mitigate shock risks.
• Missing GFCIs – Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are essential in areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. The absence of GFCIs in these critical areas can create hazardous situations, as GFCIs protect against electrical shocks.
• Missing AFCIs – Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) detect and disconnect potentially dangerous arcs, reducing the risk of fires. AFCIs are required in all bedrooms across all states, and some states extend this requirement to all circuits throughout the home.
• Inadequate Appliance Outlets – Properly functioning household appliances often require specialized plugs and dedicated outlets. Modern standards call for dedicated 240-volt outlets with four prongs, including a grounding wire, to enhance safety for heavy-duty appliances like ovens and clothes dryers.
• Insufficient Electrical Panel – Older 60-amp circuit breaker wiring may not meet the energy demands of modern homes. Upgrading the wiring and electrical panel to 100 to 200 amps is crucial to accommodate the simultaneous use of multiple appliances and electronic devices.
