Replace Outdated Electrical Wiring
Homes constructed since the 1970s have used copper wiring. However, houses built before this period used materials that were more prone to fire hazards. If your home was built prior to the 1970s, the electrical wiring may be obsolete and pose a safety risk.
We specialize in upgrading outdated electrical wiring from the aluminum wiring. The aluminum wiring system is susceptible to shrinking and expanding with temperature changes during the year. These fluctuations can cause overheating and create a spark. We also change the knob-and-tube wiring, which holds less current than we use today.
As your trusted electrical experts, we replace the aluminum wiring with copper wires. The newer residential electrical wiring is safer and more reliable.
Update Your Electrical Wiring
We can also boost your home’s safety by rewiring it to add a ground wire. The ground wire is your safety wire and will help protect you from getting a serious shock. If you have two-pronged outlets in your home, you need a ground wire.
Today, our households depend on electricity to run daily activities at night or throughout the day. Because of this high reliance on electricity, it is important to ensure your home’s wiring is safe and up-to-date.
The life expectancy of electrical wiring in residential homes depends on the material used and the quality of the installation. Copper wiring can last up to a century, but the insulation that was used to cover the wire may only last 30 to 50 years. That is why, if your home is older than 50 years, we recommend considering replacement because the insulation was not made to last forever.
Aluminum wiring has an average life span of around 80 years. However, this life expectancy assumes the wiring doesn’t suffer damage over the years.
Inspect Faulty Wiring
Signs like dimming, flickering or buzzing lights can be an indication of faulty electrical wiring. Our electricians for home wiring can resolve these issues. We also check your electric wiring for other signs of damage, including:
Chewed electrical wiring.
Discoloration on the exterior of outlets.
