  • Fixing old house wiring problems involves several steps. First, one of our experienced service professionals will inspect the existing wiring in the home to identify any outdated or unsafe components. Then, a plan will be created to update and replace any necessary wiring, outlets, switches, and panels to bring them up to current safety codes. Our team will then begin the process of rewiring the home, which may involve cutting into walls and ceilings to access the existing wiring. Once the new wiring is installed, it will be tested to ensure that it is functioning properly and safely. The final step involves closing up any access points and making sure the electrical system is running smoothly.
  • Residential electrical wiring updates can offer several benefits, including improved safety, energy efficiency, and convenience. With updated wiring, you can reduce the risk of electrical fires caused by faulty wiring and improve the overall safety of your home. Additionally, newer wiring can accommodate modern appliances and electronics, which often require higher electrical loads than older homes were designed to handle. This can also lead to improved energy efficiency and cost savings on your utility bills. Finally, updated wiring can provide more convenience by allowing for additional outlets, better lighting options, and improved home automation systems.

Signs Your Home Wiring Needs an Upgrade

There are many potential signs that your home is in need of new wiring installation. Watch for the signs that indicate your wiring needs an update, including the following:

  • You Have Old House Wiring - Outdated wiring in old houses can be a safety hazard and needs to be addressed. Some wiring like aluminum wiring from the ‘60s and ‘70s, non-metallic wiring from the ‘40s and ‘50s, and knob and tube wiring in pre-1930s homes pose a serious threat to safety.
  • You Have Two-Pronged, Ungrounded Outlets - Two-pronged outlets are dangerous to you and your electronics, as they lack proper grounding. It is important to have grounded wires and three-prong outlets installed to avoid shock risks.
  • You Are Missing GFCIs - Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) should be installed in high moisture areas like bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, laundry rooms, garages, spa/pool areas, unfinished crawlspaces/basements, and any electrified areas outside of your home to avoid shock hazards.
  • You Are Missing AFCIs - Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) should be installed to prevent fire by disconnecting the circuit in the event of a dangerous arc. AFCIs are required in bedrooms in all 50 states, and some states require them in all circuits throughout the home.
  • Your Appliance Outlets Are Inadequate - Heavy-duty appliances such as ovens and clothes dryers require 240-volt outlets that have four prongs for improved safety. Older 240 plug wiring has three prongs.
  • Your Home’s Electrical Panel Is Insufficient - The electrical panel in your home may be insufficient to meet the energy needs of your household. Upgrading the breaker box wiring to 100 to 200 amps is recommended to ensure that all appliances and electronics can operate safely and simultaneously.
