Electrical System Upgrades & Rewiring

There are a number of signs to look for when it comes to wiring in your home and we’ve only touched on them. Obviously, we always recommend letting a professional come out and check your home.

The main reason for this is to avoid endangering you or your family, because bad wiring can spark and start a house fire, but it can also cause a surge into expensive electronics and appliances.

Still, there are a few things you can watch for to know when it’s time for an inspection:

1. The scent of burning from your outlets is a dead giveaway that something’s wrong, because it usually means that your wiring is outdated or was installed incorrectly.
2. If you want a tangible way to see this burning, outlet panels will generally be blackened or darker. The same goes for light switches, but either one should get a call to us immediately.
3. While circuit breakers are designed with safety in mind, if they shut off more frequently than normal it can be a sign of wiring issues. This usually goes hand-in-hand with flickering lights, too, though that could just be loose bulbs.

Even if it turns out to be a loose bulb, it’s better to be safe than sorry so give Turner On Services a call and get started with a free estimate today!
