Reasons to Update Electrical Wiring
Older electrical wiring poses a safety hazard for your home. Some of the most common reasons to upgrade your electrical wiring include:
Outdated Wiring
For many property owners, installing new wiring is a complex and intimidating task. Our experienced technicians don't necessarily need to fully replace your home's electrical system. Homes built in the 60s or 70s likely have aluminum wiring, while those erected in the 40s and 50s may contain non-metallic wiring. Structures built before 1930 probably have potentially harmful knob and tube wiring. Due to improper installation, older wiring might exhibit loose connections and frayed wires. Our team will modernize old wiring, reestablish new connections, and replace any frayed wires.
GFCI Outlet Enhancements
Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) are mandatory in all your home areas prone to dampness. They include "Test" and "Reset" buttons and protect against electric shocks. These outlets should be installed in your pool area, laundry room, bathrooms, kitchen, basements, and any other areas near moisture. GFCI outlet installation is fast and easy for our residential electricians.
You Need Grounded Outlets
Many homes still feature two-prong, ungrounded outlets. Excess electricity must be properly grounded. Otherwise, it might flow into a device or person in contact with the outlet. It is vital to have efficient outlet installation services to reduce the risk of electric shocks.
AFCI Outlet Upgrades
Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) prevent fires by disrupting circuits. AFCIs are essential in rooms across your home. We can promptly upgrade these outlets.
Modern Appliance Outlet Upgrades
Contemporary household appliances consume more electricity than the older models and typically require a 240-volt outlet to function safely. Enhanced outlets feature four prongs for improved safety, and many older homes have three-prong wiring that may not support modern appliances.
Antiquated Electrical Panels
If your home is several decades old, it might have a 60-amp circuit breaker that is not up to par for modern homes. Today's homes require a minimum of 100 amps to run appliances and electronics simultaneously. Our team will install new circuit breaker box wiring to satisfy your home's power needs.
