Older homes were often wired for a fraction of the electrical load we put on circuits today. If your breakers trip regularly, your lights flicker when appliances turn on, or outlets feel warm to the touch, those are signs your wiring may be struggling to keep up.
Other red flags include burning smells near outlets, discolored switch plates, and the use of extension cords as a permanent solution because there aren't enough outlets. None of these should be ignored — they're common causes of electrical fires.
If your home still has aluminum wiring or a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, it's worth a professional inspection regardless of whether you're seeing symptoms yet, since both are outdated by current safety standards.
A safety inspection is the fastest way to know where you stand. We'll give you a clear, written report of any risks found and a straightforward quote for what it would take to fix them.
