Thinking of Rewiring Your Home?
Professional Electrical Wiring Repair Services in Berkeley, CA & the Surrounding Area
As technological advances continue to move forward with energy-efficient products, it’s important to pay attention to the existing electrical wiring in your home or business. Outdated wiring, especially knob and tube wiring, is not only an extinct style of residential wiring, but it also poses a very real and dangerous hazard as the wiring gets older. At Berkeley Electric our focus is on providing reliable rewiring and electrical repair services so you can rest assured you're safe in your own home.
Signs You Need Electrical Rewiring
Although rewiring your home may not always be ideal, there are warning signs that you should look out for.
- Frequently blown fuses
- An over-fused electrical panel
- Light bulbs that burn out often
- Burning smells
- Sparks from an outlet when you plug or unplug a cord
- Regularly flickering lights
Even if you don’t experience any of these warning signs, it can be a good idea to have your wiring inspected from time to time. If your home is more than 40 years old, it can be a great precautionary measure to have your electrical system looked at. Other instances to consider rewiring include if you rely on extension cords for power, if you’ve made major home or building improvements, if your electrical system has ungrounded or two-prong outlets, or if your property has aluminum wiring as opposed to copper. Our professional electricians can advise you on if your system is still in good working condition or if it needs any work.
