Whole Home Rewiring in Milwaukee

When Should You Replace Your Electrical Wiring?

Older homes will not have the electrical infrastructure in place to meet modern technology, so if your home has been built before 1970, it might not have the wiring needed to keep up—and many homes built before 1950 won’t meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code Standards.

Luckily, our team will perform a detailed evaluation of your electrical system, checking for any uninsulated or fabric-insulated wires. Then, if needed, we will completely replace the old, outdated electrical wiring in your home with safer wiring and up to code.

Signs your home needs to be rewired:

• Flickering lights: Frequent flickering is a sign of loose wiring connections, which will only worsen if left unchecked.
• Overheating outlets: If your wiring is too short, it can cause hot spots or black marks around your outlets.
• Blown-out fuses: Outdated power boxes that aren’t properly maintained will lead to more and more blown-out fuses, potentially causing major property damage.
• Foul smells: A burning smell near your appliances or outlets is another sign of short wiring.
• Excessive extension cords: The more extension cords you have, the more opportunity there is to create pinched wires, tripped breakers, or damaged outlets.
