Is your home electrical wiring adequate for your current electrical demands? Older wiring is not only a hassle, but it is also unsafe. The following are five indicators that it is advisable that you contact Record Electrical for an assessment:

Flickering or Dull Lights
Light beams that constantly flicker or dim may indicate that your wiring cannot handle your current electrical load, especially if it happens when you have several appliances running.

Colored or Warm Electrical Outlets
Heat or color change at power points is an indication of defective or overloaded wiring, a potential fire cause that has to be corrected immediately.

Overactive Circuit Breaker Trips Does your breaker keep tripping? This may indicate your circuits are overloaded or your wiring is faulty, both of which need to be fixed by a professional.

Auditory Phenomena or Olfactory Indicators

Unusual buzzing sounds or smoky smells from outlets or switches are signs of electrical issues. They need to be inspected by a professional electrician right away.

Aged or Cloth-Wrapped Wiring Homes built before the 1980s can also have old or fabric-insulated cable, which is unsafe by modern standards and needs to be upgraded. It is always wise to address minor issues before they escalate into significant ones.
