Older homes often boast character and charm, but they can also harbor outdated electrical systems that pose safety hazards and efficiency issues. At Ken's Power House Electrics, we specialize in diagnosing and resolving common electrical problems in older homes, providing reliable solutions to keep your property safe and up to code.
1. Outdated Wiring:
Older homes may still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which can pose fire hazards and struggle to meet the demands of modern electrical appliances. Our expert electricians can assess the condition of your wiring and recommend upgrades to ensure safety and efficiency.
2. Overloaded Circuits:
With the increasing number of electrical devices and appliances used in modern households, older electrical systems may struggle to handle the load, leading to tripped breakers or blown fuses. We offer circuit upgrades and panel replacements to distribute electrical load evenly and prevent overloads.
3. Lack of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs):
Ground fault circuit interrupters are crucial for protecting against electrical shocks, especially in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. If your older home lacks GFCIs, our electricians can install them to enhance safety and bring your home up to current electrical codes.
4. Insufficient Outlets:
Older homes often have fewer outlets per room compared to modern standards, leading to the use of extension cords and power strips, which can increase the risk of overloading circuits. We can add additional outlets strategically throughout your home to improve convenience and safety.
5. Flickering Lights:
Flickering lights are not only annoying but can also indicate underlying wiring issues or poor connections. Our electricians can troubleshoot the cause of flickering lights and perform necessary repairs to ensure a stable and reliable electrical system.
6. Aging Electrical Fixtures:
Electrical fixtures such as switches, outlets, and light fixtures can deteriorate over time, leading to poor performance and potential safety hazards. We offer replacement and upgrade services to modernize your home's electrical fixtures and improve functionality and aesthetics.
