Signs You Need Professional House Wiring in Brighton

While you might not give it much thought, your home’s electrical wiring is a crucial part of your everyday life. From powering electronics like your television to heating water for a nice hot shower, your wiring must be in tip-top shape. Unfortunately, wiring isn’t built to last forever. Eventually, your home will need to undergo rewiring service by a licensed electrician.

You should be on the lookout for common signs that it’s time to upgrade your old wiring.

Tripping circuit breakers
Cloth-coated wiring
Electrical burning odor
Aluminum wiring

If you’re constantly tripping the circuit breakers, it’s an indication that your home simply can’t handle enough power to meet your demands. This isn’t uncommon in older homes, as many have 60- or 100-amp power. Modern homes demand a full 200 amps to supply adequate power. You’ll want to have an electrician update so your wiring can provide 200-amp service to your residence.

Prior to the 1960s, cloth was the primary insulating material for wiring. Unfortunately, time has shown that cloth will eventually start to crumble and fall off the wiring. This leads to sections of bare wiring that can cause arcing and a potential electrical fire. As a good rule of thumb, it’s highly beneficial to update to modern wiring with better plastic insulation.

One smell that is overly pungent is that of electrical wires burning. This should put you on high alert, as overheating wires can easily lead to a fire hazard. This electrical smell will be most common around outlets and light switches. You may even notice that the outlet or switch feels hot to the touch. In some cases, it can have a yellowish burnt color on the outlet or switch.

Aluminum wiring was popular in homes between the 1960s and 1970s because the price of copper was too high, and electricians were looking for a more affordable alternative. While aluminum wiring can work fine, it isn’t compatible with copper. Rather, it can cause premature corrosion of the wires. With all modern-day electrical wiring, outlets, and light switches relying on copper, you’re going to run into compatibility issues with your old aluminum wiring.
