How old is your home? If it’s been a few decades since your house was built, there’s a good chance that the electrical wiring inside its walls is just as old. And while your home may have aged gracefully on the outside, the wiring behind your walls might be struggling to keep up with modern demands.
If you’ve experienced flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or even a slight shock when plugging in devices, it might be time for an electrical makeover—a complete re-wire.
Let’s start with a little history lesson.
Homes built more than 30 years ago were wired to meet the electrical needs of the time. Back then, the average household didn’t have nearly as many electrical appliances, devices, or gadgets as we do today. So, the wiring systems were simpler and designed to handle much lighter loads. Fast forward to today, and the story is entirely different.
With all the electronics we use now—computers, TVs, kitchen appliances, and more—our electrical systems are under much more strain. Old wiring can’t always handle this increased load, leading to problems like overheating, short circuits, and even electrical fires. And it’s not just about the amount of power.
Over time, wiring can degrade, insulation can wear out, and connections can loosen, all of which pose serious safety risks.
So, when should you consider re-wiring? Here are a few signs:
