Just like other systems installed in your home, its electrical system can become outdated and cause damage to household appliances and even compromise the safety and lives of the members of your household. But when exactly should you update this system and call an electrician? Greenhills Beach professionals list the signs that your home’s electrical system needs to be rewired.

You need to call in a professional electrician to inspect your home if it is old. The electrical systems in older homes have not been designed to handle the load required by newer appliances. Take note that some insurance policies do not cover for damages in the event of an electrical fire if the home is of a certain age and the electrical system has not been rewired.

It is also worthwhile to have your home’s wiring system inspected when you have purchased new appliances, like a central heating system which can overload the wiring. A professional electrician can determine whether the current electrical system can handle the additional load.

Finally, if the electrical system installed in your home uses rubber insulated wirings and old switchboards, it’s time to enlist the aid of a professional electrician.

There are several signs that an existing wiring system is outdated. First, you’ll notice that plugs and sockets are hot to the touch. In some cases, you may see scorch marks on these. Flickering lights, blown fuses and tripping of circuit breakers, for no apparent reason, are also signs that the home’s electrical wiring needs an upgrade. Unfortunately, these signs can be easily ignored or missed by ordinary people.

In short, the best way to know whether your home’s electrical system needs to be rewired is to get the expert opinion of an electrician. This professional will closely inspect your home’s wiring and provide an honest evaluation of the work that needs to be done.
