Signs Your Home Needs a Wiring Upgrade


Your home's electrical system plays a vital role in keeping your property running safely and efficiently. However, outdated or faulty wiring can lead to serious safety hazards and inconvenience. Here are some signs that it may be time to invest in our comprehensive electrical services:

  • Outdated House Wiring – Older house wiring poses a significant safety hazard. However, rewiring a house is a large and complicated project. Some wiring may not need to be entirely replaced, but aluminum wiring from the ‘60s and ‘70s, non-metallic wiring from the ‘40s and ‘50s, and knob and tube wiring from pre-1930s homes are well-known hazards, as are loose connections and frayed wires.
  • Two-Pronged, Ungrounded Outlets – Two-pronged outlets are a safety hazard for people and electronics. Without proper grounding, electrical excesses can damage your devices. Even if you have a surge protector, the excess electricity has nowhere to go. Grounded wires and three-pronged outlets should be installed to reduce shock risks.
  • Missing GFCIs – GFCIs, identified by the "TEST" and "RESET" buttons on receptacles, protect against shocks in high moisture areas. They are now required in specific rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, utility rooms, garages, spa/pool areas, unfinished crawlspaces/basements, and any electrified areas outside your home. If GFCIs are missing in any of these important areas, it could lead to a hazardous situation.
  • Missing AFCIs – AFCIs act as circuit breakers to prevent fires by disconnecting in the event of a potentially dangerous arc. They are required in all bedrooms in all 50 states, and some states require them in all circuits throughout the home.
  • Inadequate Appliance Outlets – Household appliances require special plugs to function. Today, a 240-volt outlet is required for each oven, clothes dryer, and other heavy-duty appliances. While older 240 plug wiring features three prongs, the latest 240 plugs have four prongs, including a ground wire to improve safety.
  • Insufficient Electrical Panel – A few decades ago, 60-amp circuit breaker wiring might have been sufficient to power a home. However, today's homes often require 100 to 200 amps to operate all the appliances and electronics you use simultaneously. Upgraded breaker box wiring installation is the best way to meet your home's growing energy needs.
