Older homes possess a certain charm and character, but their aging electrical systems often lag behind current safety standards. With an increase in electrical demands due to modern appliances and technology, the risks associated with outdated wiring can significantly elevate. Issues such as frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, or unusually high electricity bills are red flags signaling the need for an inspection. Not only do these indicate potential safety hazards, but they could also lead to increased expenses if left unaddressed.
Residential electrical systems from the mid-20th century were not designed to handle today's energy consumption. For instance, homes built before the 1960s may still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum wiring, both of which can deteriorate over time and pose serious safety risks, including electrical fires. P.I.E-Co. Electric offers comprehensive electrical system evaluations to identify and address these outdated components, ensuring your home's system is both safe and efficient.
One of the modern solutions we advocate is upgrading to a circuit breaker system if your home still relies on an old fuse box. Circuit breakers not only offer enhanced safety features but are also far more convenient to reset in the event of overloads or electrical shorts. Our team at P.I.E-Co. Electric specializes in these upgrades, providing seamless installations with minimal disruptions to your home life.
Moreover, to accommodate the proliferation of smart home devices and other electricity-intensive gadgets, we recommend considering a complete electrical panel upgrade. This ensures your system can safely support increased loads without compromising performance or safety. Additionally, investing in modern surge protectors for your entire home can safeguard your electronics against unpredictable power surges, which are increasingly common with today's grid demands.
Furthermore, adopting energy-efficient lighting is a simple yet effective solution to reduce electricity consumption. Replacing old incandescent bulbs with LED lighting not only decreases energy use but also lasts longer, saving you money in the long run. P.I.E-Co. Electric's certified electricians can assist with bespoke lighting solutions that enhance both your home's functionality and aesthetics.
Our dedication to customer satisfaction doesn't stop at just upgrading electrical systems.
