How Dangerous Is Your Home’s Electrical System?
It’s impossible to tell without an assessment from a certified electrical company. The most common dangers include:
- ld wiring that overheats with modern appliances
- iring that has deteriorated over time or from pests and rodents chewing through it
- sing the wrong fuses in your panel
- ngrounded electrical outlets
- otched DIY electrical projects
- ngrounded outlets hidden behind grounded outlet covers
- egligent contractors damaging your electrical wiring
- roken arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI)
- issing ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) near water and moisture
This is only a basic list. Nowadays, it is important to keep your electrical system up-to-date because of the high amounts of electricity we use. Shock, electrocution, and house fire are real threats. LinkNow Media will perform all the upgrades necessary to make your Market City 1 home safe.
Fuse to Breaker Upgrades
Most homes built before 1980 were built with fuse boxes. This was okay when we needed less electricity to run our appliances. If you find a fuse box in your new home, it’s a good idea to upgrade; not only will it help with insurance, it will protect you from losing power—or worse.
Our certified electricians will install a circuit breaker with AFCI’s so that you’ll never have to worry about overloading your electrical panel. Updated wiring will allow you to use modern appliances without worrying about dangerous house fires starting in your walls, and with a grounding wire, your appliances will be much less likely to shock or electrocute you. That sounds pretty good, right?
Get Grounded with New Outlets
Grounded outlets are the norm in today’s homes, but some older homes haven’t been updated. If you are using high voltage appliances—which you are—this puts you at risk of serious injury. If there was a power surge, your electrical panel wouldn’t be able to handle the sudden increase in current. It will find the nearest conductor; that could be you or your loved ones.
In Market City 1 it is against the law to have ungrounded outlets. LinkNow Media will install new outlets and redo your entire home wiring. Updating your home wiring isn’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
Our electricians can also perform GFCI outlet installations. A GFCI outlet will automatically cut the electrical circuit if it is overloaded—as might happen if a hair dryer falls in a sink or bathtub. These are highly recommended for electrical outlets that are exposed to moisture.
