Signs Your Home Needs Wiring Updates
Our skilled team is on hand to assist you in determining if your home requires electrical rewiring. Signs can surface if your electrical system struggles to handle your household's power needs. We align your wiring with current electrical legislation, ensuring satisfactory power usage. Our service professionals carry out safety audits to assess your wiring's condition and recommend necessary overhauls accordingly.
Outdated Wiring
For a majority of homeowners, fresh wiring installation can be complex and intimidating. Our service professionals will thoroughly inspect your home's system before deciding on a full replacement. Homes built in the 60s or 70s often feature aluminum wiring, while those constructed in the 40s and 50s may contain non-metallic wiring. Homes erected prior to 1930 are likely to have potentially dangerous knob and tube wiring systems. Due to improper installation, older wiring may have loose junctions and worn wires. Our team will modernize out-of-date wiring, revamp connections, and replace any worn wires.
GFCI Outlet Upgrades
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are vital in moisture-prone spaces in your home. They possess “Test” and “Reset” buttons and protect against electrical shocks. These outlets are necessary in areas such as your pool vicinity, laundry room, bathrooms, kitchen, basements, and other moisture-exposed locations. Installation of GFCI outlets is typically expedient and simple.
Three-Prong Outlet Upgrades
Many homes still have two-prong, non-grounded outlets. Electrical surges must be properly grounded to prevent harm, and proficient outlet installation services are vital to reducing the risk of electric shocks.
Electrical Issues
If you notice lights flickering, warm outlets, or buzzing sounds in the walls, you may have an electrical problem. It's essential to contact us for an electrical safety inspection when you have ongoing electrical problems.
AFCI Outlet Upgrades
Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) effectively prevent fires by interrupting circuits. AFCIs are essential in various rooms across your home. We can promptly upgrade these outlets for you.
Upgraded Appliance Outlets
Modern household appliances consume more electricity than older models and usually demand a 240-volt outlet in order to function safely. Upgraded outlets come with four prongs for improved safety, while many aging homes equipped with three-prong wiring may not support contemporary appliances.
Older Electrical Panels
Older homes typically have a 60-amp circuit breaker, which falls short for modern power requirements. Contemporary homes generally need a minimum of 100 amps to power devices and electronics simultaneously. Our team will install a new circuit breaker box wiring system to cater to your home's power needs.
