Signs Your Home Needs a Wiring Upgrade


The electrical system plays a vital role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of your home. However, outdated or faulty wiring can introduce substantial safety hazards and disrupt daily operations. It is crucial to recognize the indicators that suggest the need for our comprehensive electrical rewiring service to ensure optimal performance. By addressing the following signs in a timely manner, you can improve the safety and functionality of your home's electrical infrastructure:

  • Aging House Wiring – Outdated house wiring can present significant safety hazards. While rewiring an entire house can be a complex undertaking, it's important to address certain types of wiring due to their known risks. This includes aluminum wiring from the '60s and '70s, non-metallic wiring from the '40s and '50s, as well as knob and tube wiring found in homes built before the 1930s. Additionally, loose connections and frayed wires should be promptly attended to.
  • Two-Pronged, Ungrounded Outlets – Two-pronged outlets pose safety risks for individuals and electronic devices. Without proper grounding, excessive electrical currents can damage your devices or pose a risk of harm. Even with surge protectors, the excess electricity has no outlet. To mitigate shock risks, it is recommended to install grounded wires and three-pronged outlets.
  • Missing GFCIs – Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs), identifiable by their "TEST" and "RESET" buttons on receptacles, provide protection against electrical shocks in areas with high moisture levels. These devices are now required in specific rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, utility rooms, garages, spa/pool areas, unfinished crawlspaces/basements, and outdoor electrified areas. The absence of GFCIs in these critical areas can create hazardous situations.
  • Missing AFCIs – Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) act as circuit breakers that detect and disconnect potentially dangerous arcs, reducing the risk of fires. AFCIs are mandated in all bedrooms across all 50 states, and some states extend this requirement to all circuits throughout the home.
  • Inadequate Appliance Outlets – Household appliances often require specialized plugs for proper functioning. For example, modern standards call for dedicated 240-volt outlets for ovens, clothes dryers, and other heavy-duty appliances. While older 240 plug wiring typically has three prongs, the latest 240 plugs feature four prongs, including a grounding wire to enhance safety.
  • Insufficient Electrical Panel – In the past, 60-amp circuit breaker wiring may have been sufficient for powering homes. However, today's households often require 100 to 200 amps to accommodate the simultaneous use of multiple appliances and electronic devices. Upgrading the wiring and electrical panel is crucial to meet the increasing energy demands of a modern home.
