Signs Your Home May Need a Wiring Update

If you're unsure whether your home needs an electrical wiring update or upgrade, there are several signs to watch for. Mr. Electric of St. Louis has helped many homeowners in St. Louis and St. Charles County identify and address outdated wiring issues. Below are common indicators that your home could benefit from an electrical wiring update:

Outdated or Hazardous Wiring

Older homes often contain wiring types that are no longer considered safe. For example, homes built in the early-to-mid 20th century may have knob-and-tube wiring, which lacks modern safety features. Aluminum wiring, commonly used in homes from the 1960s and 1970s, is also a known fire hazard. Our electricians can assess your home’s wiring and recommend upgrades to keep your family safe.

Ungrounded, Two-Pronged Outlets

Two-pronged outlets are a clear sign of an outdated electrical system. These outlets lack grounding, which increases the risk of electrical shock and damage to your electronics. Upgrading to grounded, three-pronged outlets is a simple way to enhance your home’s safety and functionality. Our technicians can also inspect your wiring to ensure it is properly grounded.

Missing GFCIs (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters)

GFCI outlets are required in areas where water and electricity are likely to come into contact, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor spaces. These outlets reduce the risk of electrical shock by cutting power when a fault is detected. If your home is missing GFCI outlets in these critical areas, it’s time to schedule an electrical wiring upgrade.

Missing AFCIs (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters)

AFCI breakers are essential for preventing electrical fires caused by arc faults. Current electrical codes require AFCIs in bedrooms and other areas of the home to enhance safety. If your electrical panel lacks AFCI protection, an update can significantly reduce the risk of fire hazards in your home.

Insufficient Appliance Outlets

Modern appliances, such as ovens, washers, and dryers, require 240-volt outlets to operate safely and efficiently. Older homes may have outdated three-pronged outlets that don’t meet today’s safety standards. Upgrading to four-pronged outlets ensures your appliances run efficiently and reduces the risk of electrical problems.

Inadequate Electrical Panel

As technology advances, households consume more power than ever before. If your home’s electrical panel has a lower amp capacity, such as 60 amps, it may struggle to handle the load of modern electronics and appliances. Upgrading your electrical panel to 100 or 200 amps will improve your home’s electrical reliability and reduce the risk of overloads and tripped breakers.

  • Upgrading or updating your home’s electrical wiring can offer many advantages, including the following benefits:

    Enhanced Safety

    Reduce the risk of electrical shocks, fires, and other hazards.

    Improved Efficiency

    Ensure your electrical system can handle the demands of modern appliances and devices.

    Increased Home Value

    Homes with updated wiring are more attractive to potential buyers and meet current electrical codes. Being proactive about an electrical wiring update and upgrade could boost your home’s value.

    Peace of Mind

    Knowing your home’s wiring is safe and up to code gives you confidence in your electrical system. Allow us to upgrade electrical wires and update electrical wires in your home.
