Signs You Need Electrical Wiring Upgrades
Outdated Ungrounded, Conventional Two-Prong Outlets
If two-prong, ungrounded outlets are present in your home, it’s time to upgrade. A plugged-in outlet needs to be grounded properly, or it exposes you to the risk of an electric shock. Upgraded, standard outlet installations are necessary to minimize this risk. Our team will swiftly exchange two-pronged outlets for modern three-pronged counterparts.
Lack of AFCI Outlets
An arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) functions like a circuit breaker, disconnecting power during a potentially hazardous arc. AFCI outlets should be installed in all bedrooms and several other areas in your home. We will assist you in determining appropriate spots for AFCI outlets.
Outdated Appliance Outlets
Older houses often feature outdated appliance outlets. Modern appliances necessitate a 240-volt outlet with four prongs. If your residence still uses old three-prong outlets, we can modernize them.
Higher Power Requirement
Homes in the past only required a 60-amp circuit breaker for a safe power supply. Contemporary homes require a minimum of 100 amps to operate devices and appliances smoothly, with some homes needing up to 200 amps. Our team is capable of installing a new circuit breaker box wiring for enhanced power.
