Many suburban Chicago residents have older homes which often have outdated electrical wiring. This may not seem like an issue if you’re not experiencing electrical problems, but unfortunately, old wiring can be a hidden danger. Rewiring your home is a big project, but it can keep your family safe and even save you money on your electricity bill.
TR Miller Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electrical has been serving the home service needs of residents in the Chicago suburbs since 2008. Our team of professional electricians can provide expert home rewiring services that will protect your home and ensure that your electrical needs are met.
Reasons to Rewire Your Home
The two main reasons for home rewiring are the advanced age of the wiring which can be dangerous and wiring that is no longer able to handle your modern electrical needs.
Signs that your home needs rewiring include:
- Burning smells
- Flickering lights
- Buzzing sounds
- Frequent circuit breaker tripping
- Outlets that spark
- Hot switches, plugs, or cords
- Light bulbs that burn out too quickly
- The presence of aluminum wiring
- Damaged insulation
Even if you don’t notice these signs, if your wiring system is 25 years or more old, you may want to consider rewiring.
Dangers of Old Wiring
Old wiring can overload easily, which can cause it to overheat and potentially cause a fire. Fire can also occur due to wiring that has deteriorated or been damaged. Electrical shocks can also occur due to exposed wires or loose connections.
Old wiring can also cause damage to appliances, including computers, which can lead to data loss.
Benefits of Rewiring Your Home
Safety is certainly the most important benefit of home rewiring, but it also has other benefits. Rewiring can improve the function of your home’s electrical functions and increase its efficiency, leading to lower energy bills. It can even increase the value of your home.
What’s Involved in Rewiring Your Home
The first step in rewiring your home is assessing your electrical needs and creating a rewiring plan that will meet those needs. When you hire TR Miller, we will sit down with you to discuss your needs and the plan. Then we will remove the old wiring, update the electrical panel as necessary, install new wiring and a grounding system, replace outlets, switches, and fixtures, and then inspect and test the entire system.
The entire process can take a week or more depending on the size of your home. During that time, we can set up a temporary power system so that you experience as little disruption as possible.
