Do I Need Updated Wiring?

Mr. Electric of Jacksonville, NC will determine if it’s time for new electrical wiring in your home. You may notice signs that your electrical panel is struggling to keep up with your home’s energy demands. Our team will ensure your wiring is up to code and can handle your power demands. We perform thorough electrical energy safety inspections and make recommendations on any necessary upgrades. Our service professionals explain below the most common signs that you need updated electrical wiring.

Older Home Electrical Wiring

We understand rewiring a house is a complex project, but old house wiring doesn’t always need a complete replacement. Dangerous wiring in your older home includes aluminum wiring used in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, non-metallic wiring installed in the 1940s and 1950s, and knob and tube wiring in homes built before 1930. The problem with older wiring is that it often has frayed wires and loose connections due to improper installation. We can upgrade your existing wiring, replace any problematic wires, and install new connections.

Lack of GFCI Outlets

Ground fault circuit interrupters are required in any part of your home that contains moisture. GFCI outlets have the “Test” and “Reset” buttons. This type of outlet is required in kitchens, basements, bathrooms, laundry rooms, swimming pool areas, and any other with moisture. We can install these quickly.

Outdated Two-Prong Outlets

If your home has ungrounded, two-prong outlets, they must be replaced. When an outlet is not correctly grounded, the excess electricity can only go into a person or device that is in contact with it. This risk of electric shock can be eliminated by installing standard three-prong outlets in your home.

Lack of AFCIs

An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) helps prevent fires by breaking circuits. AFCIs are required in bedrooms, sunrooms, living areas, dining rooms, closets, hallways, and other rooms.

Outdated Appliance Outlets

Modern household appliances need a significant amount of power. The appliances in your home now require a 240-volt outlet for safety. These outlets need four prongs for an additional boost of safety. Many older homes still have three prongs that cannot adequately support your home’s power needs.
