Signs You Need Updated Wiring
Our service professionals will help you determine if your home needs electrical rewiring services. Your electrical system will often show signs that it cannot keep up with the electricity demands of your home. We can bring your wiring up to modern electrical codes to ensure it can handle your electrical demand. Our service professionals perform electrical energy safety inspections to check the health of your wiring. We make recommendations based on your safety inspection. We’ll explain the most common signs that you need to update the electrical wiring in your home.
Old Electrical Wiring
New wiring installation is challenging and complex for most homeowners. Our service experts don’t always need to replace your home’s complete wiring system. If your home was built in the 1960s or 1970s, it probably has aluminum wiring. Homes built in the 1940s and 1950s have non-metallic wiring. Homes built before the 1930s were constructed with hazardous knob and tube wiring. Older wiring frequently has loose connections and frayed wires due to improper installation. Our team will upgrade old electrical wiring, install new connections, and replace any frayed wires.
Your Home Doesn’t Have GFCIs
Ground fault circuit interrupters must be installed anywhere in your home with moisture. The outlets have receptacles that include “Test” and “Reset” buttons and help protect you from electric shock. They are required in your swimming pool area, laundry room, bathrooms, kitchen, basements, and any other room with moisture. GFCI outlets are quick and easy to install.
You Have Ungrounded, Two-Prong Outlets
Many homes have two-prong, ungrounded outlets. If an outlet is not properly grounded, its
electrical excesses will only be able to go into the device or person that is in contact with the outlet. It’s essential to have standard outlet installation services to help reduce the risk of electric shocks. We can install three-pronged outlets throughout your home quickly and efficiently.
You Do Not Have AFCIs
An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) is essential to help prevent fire by breaking circuits. You must have AFCIs in your dining rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, sunrooms, hallways, closets, and other rooms.
Your Appliance Outlets Are Not Updated
Household appliances draw a much higher amount of electricity than they did decades ago. Today’s appliances require a 240-volt outlet to ensure safety. Updated outlets now have four prongs to boost safety. Many older homes have three-prong wiring that cannot handle modern appliances.
