Frequently Asked Questions
If you’re experiencing issues with your home’s older electrical wiring system, you likely have some questions. Here are answers to a couple of the most common questions about whole-home wiring in Durham.
How do I know if my home needs to be rewired?
If you have older components, such as aluminum wiring, that are no longer up to code, you need rewiring. You may notice symptoms of worn wiring, such as flickering or dimming lights and frequently tripped circuit breakers. The best way to know for certain is to schedule a whole-home electrical inspection. Our licensed electrician will perform a thorough code assessment and provide you with a professional recommendation.
Can you upgrade wiring without replacing my electrical panel?
Yes, you may be able to add circuits and even replace old wires without upgrading the panel itself. Still, if the wires are old or in poor enough condition to require replacement, the panel likely does as well. You may need a new panel if the current one provides inadequate amp coverage or lacks the needed circuit capacity.
