FAQs

- Should old electrical wiring be replaced?
- How often should you replace home electrical outlets?
Does my house need electrical rewiring?
First, make sure to get a quote from a reliable service provider. You can make service calls to electricians to help you determine whether your house needs rewiring, as well as the prices offered by each. If you have outdated plug sockets, flickering lights even after replacing them with new bulbs, ceiling fans that aren’t working, constantly tripping breakers, etc, we suggest contacting an electrician in your area to get it reviewed.
Should old electrical wiring be replaced?
Yes. Old and outdated electrical wiring can cause your light switch and ceiling fan to flicker and not work properly. Other symptoms include blowing fuses in the house and stained sockets. In fact, a stained socket indicates that your house is consuming more power than it can generate.
Faulty and old electrical outlets can sometimes cause a spark and fire. To avoid the risk of fire, make sure to get a reliable and certified electrician to help you review your home’s electrical outlets and wires.
How often should you replace home electrical outlets?
Electrical outlets can withstand years, if not decades, of constant use. However, it’s important to notice issues with your home electrical outlets. If you notice that the outlet temperature gets hot after use or generate a spark when plugging in gadgets and appliances, make a service call with your electrician and have them assess the outlet’s condition.
