Why Updating Outdated Wiring Is Essential for Your Safety

7 Signs Your Home May Need Electrical Rewiring Repair Services

If your home’s wiring hasn’t been updated in the past three decades, it’s more likely to degrade and need rewiring services.

In addition to your home’s age, here are some signs it’s time to call an electrician for wiring or rewiring services:

1. Frequent Blown Fuses or Tripped Circuit Breakers

Older fuses are not designed to handle the increased power demands of today’s homes. If your fuses blow regularly, you may need to upgrade the circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are made to “trip” and shut off electricity when a circuit exceeds the number of amps it can handle. But if your circuit breaker trips very frequently, this is a sign that there is a problem with your wiring.

2. Dimming or Flickering Lights

When your lights suddenly brighten, there is too much voltage, and when they dim, there’s not enough. This spike or decline in power is often caused by loose wiring or faulty circuits.

3. Hot or Discolored Switch Plates

Loose connections and faulty wiring can also cause sparks and small fires. If you notice discolored or charred electrical outlets or switches, you should have your wiring checked.

4. Burning Smell

When an electrical short happens near your switches, the small fire can cause a faint burning smell. If you notice a burning smell and can’t identify the source, your wiring may be shorting behind your walls or under your floors. Any burning smells should be investigated by a licensed electrician right away.

5. Sparking Outlets

Sometimes sparking outlets are normal, but large sparks accompanied by discolored outlets and/or burning smells are a clear sign of a problem. Short-circuited outlets generate excessive heat that can melt insulation and cause electrical fires when exposed.

6. Buzzing or Sizzling Sounds

If your property is over 40 years old, you are most at risk from outdated cabling and damaged wires. You should have your home’s electrical system inspected and rewired to comply with modern electrical safety standards.

7. Old Home & Cabling

Loose connections can cause the wires to make sounds inside the outlet. This is more common in older homes with outdated wiring.
