Over the years, there have been many different electrical materials for residential wiring. Some of the most common are aluminum, lead, cloth, and copper. Unfortunately, time has shown that some of these materials don’t last extremely long. It’s important to have your home wiring receive regular inspections by an electrician so you know when it’s time to upgrade.
There are various reasons that you may need to upgrade your home’s electrical wiring.
Not enough power
Need more outlets
Aluminum to copper
Cloth wiring
One of the most common reasons homeowners living in an older home need to get professional rewiring service is because they simply don’t have enough power. You may notice that your lights flicker when you turn on different appliances, or your circuit breakers may even trip. Most older homes only have around 100 amps of power going to them. Today’s homes receive 200 amps to handle our modern-day electrical demands.
Cloth wiring was common in pre-1960s homes. While it functions well, its cloth coating deteriorates over time. It will get extremely brittle and start to crumble into pieces. This leaves the inside wiring bare, which allows it to cause electrical shocks and arcing when it comes into contact with objects. This is very dangerous and can lead to an electrical fire.
Another reason to get home rewiring service is if you have aluminum wiring. This metal material was standard for homes built in the 1960s and 70s. While aluminum itself can function well, it can be a real hazard when aluminum wiring connects to copper wiring. The reaction between the two metals leads to premature deterioration of the aluminum. It’s important to update all areas of connection with copper on both sides for optimal household safety.
In many older homes, you’ll find there are only a couple of outlets in each room. In some cases, there may only be one outlet. This can be quite frustrating when it comes to powering our modern-day electronics. Rewiring will be necessary to add additional outlets throughout your home’s rooms.
