Wiring & Rewiring in Delaware

Professional Home Rewiring Services in Delaware

We always want your home to be safe. As it ages and your electrical system deteriorates, it may be time to update or completely upgrade. It can be easy to overlook your home’s electricity, especially when it seems to be functioning normally. 

Electrical issues can go unnoticed for an undetermined amount of time, causing extensive damage to your home before starting to malfunction. This makes preventative maintenance necessary. If you’re experiencing the circumstances below, it’s essential that you let our professionals rewire your home. 

Signs You Need Professional Electrical Rewiring:

• Outdated Original Wiring: If your home is over 30 years old, your original wiring is outdated and broken down. This puts your system at a higher risk for shorts, arcs, and electrical fires.
• Unusual Burning Smell: As wiring deteriorates, exposed or loose wires can create sparks. If you notice a burning smell near outlets or your electrical panel, or notice discolored or burned outlets, it’s time to call the professionals.
• Flickering Lights Issue: High-energy appliances, your lights shouldn’t flicker. If they do, your system can’t distribute enough power to meet your needs. You may need new circuits or wiring that can manage more electricity.
• Overuse of Extension Cords: Older homes may not have as many outlets as newly constructed homes, because previous generations didn’t have as many electronics and appliances! You shouldn’t use extension cords in every outlet of your home to meet your technological needs. We offer expert wiring and rewiring in Delaware to install the number of outlets that you need. 

Commonly Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

There are a few signs that indicate your home may need rewiring. If your home is over 30 years old, the original wiring is likely outdated and worn down, putting your system at a higher risk for shorts, arcs, and electrical fires. Additionally, if you notice a burning smell near outlets or your electrical panel, or if you see discolored or burned outlets, it's time to call professionals for rewiring. 

Flickering lights can also be a sign of inadequate power distribution, indicating the need for new circuits or wiring. Lastly, if you find yourself relying on multiple extension cords throughout your home, it's a clear indication that you need more outlets and should consider rewiring.

What are the dangers of outdated residential wiring?

Outdated residential wiring poses several dangers. Over time, the insulation on the wires can deteriorate, increasing the risk of electrical shorts and arcing. This can lead to electrical fires, which can cause extensive damage to your home and put your family's safety at risk. 

Additionally, outdated wiring may not be able to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and electronics, resulting in power overloads and potential damage to your devices. It's important to have your residential wiring inspected and updated to ensure the safety and functionality of your home.
