Wiring Updates in Queensbury

Homes over 30 years old may have wiring that is degraded, damaged, chewed up by rodents, or otherwise dangerous. If this wiring isn’t replaced, you risk a house fire or electric shock. Smaller homes may also benefit from updated wiring if the existing wiring does not meet your family’s power needs. At Mr. Electric of Queensbury, our experienced service technicians can update the electrical wiring in homes in Queensbury, NY. We work safely and efficiently to install new wiring and improve the comfort, convenience, energy efficiency, safety, and value of your home.

When and Why Should Old Wiring Be Replaced?

According to the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), faulty home wiring is the leading cause of residential fires. The older your home is, the higher the chance its wiring might be outdated, unsafe, or damaged. Unfortunately, many people don’t realize what condition their electrical wiring is until a problem occurs. Scheduling regular electrical safety inspections can uncover early warning signs of wiring problems so they can be repaired quickly. You should call us to inspect your home for a wiring upgrade if:

  • Your home is over 25 years old.
  • You plan on installing one or more large appliances, like an electric vehicle charger or a washer and dryer.
  • You just moved into a new home and aren’t sure what the condition of the wiring is.
  • You have seen signs of rodent activity in your home or hear strange sounds in your walls.
