Reasons for Home Wiring Upgrades

Poor wiring is a primary contributor to residential fires. Our trained service personnel will upgrade your wiring to adhere to the latest National Electric Code (NEC) updates. If your wiring is unable to meet your home’s energy requirements, it suffers. Updating wiring to mitigate the risk of fires and other threats in your home is crucial. We conduct regular electrical safety checks to evaluate your wiring condition. Based on these audits, we can propose energy-based recommendations. Some of the most common reasons you might need to upgrade your home's wiring include:

Aging Electrical Wiring

We acknowledge that upgrading to new wiring can be daunting. The good news is that the entire wiring system doesn't always require replacement. Homes constructed in the 1960s or 1970s mostly have aluminum wiring. Houses built in the 1940s and 1950s typically have non-metallic wiring, and those built before the 1930s generally contain hazardous knob and tube wiring. These old wiring systems often have frayed wires and loose connections. Our service professionals can fix frayed wires, introduce new connections, and modernize your electrical wiring.

You Need GFCI Outlets

It is mandatory by law to install ground fault circuit interrupters in damp areas around your home. These places include bathrooms, kitchens, pool areas, saunas, laundry rooms, and any other rooms with moisture. We install GFCI outlets with "Test" and "Reset" buttons to protect you from electric shock in damp areas.

You Need Upgraded Three-Prong Outlets

If your home contains two-prong, ungrounded outlets, it’s time to renew them. A plug should be correctly grounded to prevent the risk of electric shocks. Homes should have up-to-date, standard outlet installation services to minimize shocks. Our team can efficiently install three-pronged, upgraded outlets.

Your Home Does Not Have AFCI Outlets

An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) functions as a circuit breaker, disconnecting during a potentially harmful arc. AFCIs should be installed in all bedrooms and many other areas of your home. We can assist in determining the right location for AFCI outlets in your home.

You Need Updated Appliance Outlets

Old homes often have outdated appliance outlets. Modern appliances require a 240-volt outlet with four prongs. If your home still uses outdated three-pronged outlets for appliances, we can upgrade them.

You Need More Power

Older homes only require a 60-amp circuit breaker for safe power distribution. Modern homes need a minimum of 100 amps to safely run electronics and appliances. Most new homes require 100 to 200 amps to power all devices continuously. Our team can install new circuit breaker box wiring for higher power output.
