When to Get Home Wiring Updates
Two-Prong, Ungrounded Outlets
If your home has outdated two-prong, ungrounded outlets, it's time for an upgrade. Proper grounding is essential to prevent electric shocks. Our team can quickly replace these with safer, three-pronged outlets.
Absence of AFCI Outlets
Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are mandatory in all bedrooms and many other areas of your home, providing power cut-off in case of a potentially harmful arc. We can advise on suitable locations for these outlets.
Outdated Appliance Outlets
Many older houses have three-prong outlets that can't support modern appliances needing 240-volt, four-prong outlets. We can quickly upgrade these outlets to meet current requirements.
Increased Power Requirements for Your Home
While older homes only needed a 60-amp circuit breaker, modern appliances, and electronics need at least 100 amps to function safely. Most modern homes require between 100 and 200 amps. We generally recommend updated wiring every 25 years to keep up with modern electrical technology's demands. We can set up a new circuit breaker with the necessary wiring to accommodate your power needs.
