1. Why Consider Wiring Upgrades?

Your home’s wiring may not be the star of the show, but it plays a crucial role behind the scenes. Here’s why wiring upgrades matter:

• Safety First: Faulty wiring is a leading cause of residential fires. Keeping your wiring up to date can prevent potential disasters.
• Modern Demands: Older homes weren’t designed for today’s tech-heavy lifestyles. Upgrading provides the voltage needed for modern appliances, smart devices, and electronics.
• Compliance: Building codes evolve to improve safety. Upgrading ensures your home meets current standards.

2. Signs It’s Time for an Upgrade:

Pay attention if you notice:

• Flickering Lights: Ghostly flickers? Your wiring might be haunted—or just outdated.
• Tripped Breakers: Frequent breaker trips signal overload or loose connections.
• Warm Outlets: Warm or discolored outlets? Not a cozy sign.
• Lingering Burning Smell: If your home smells like it’s hosting a tiny barbecue, investigate.

3. Types of Wiring Upgrades:

• Aluminum to Copper: Replace old aluminum wiring with safer copper wiring.
• Increased Amperage: Upgrade from 60 amps to 100 or 200 amps for modern demands.
• GFCIs Everywhere: Install ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
