Signs Your Home Needs Wiring Upgrades

Myrtle Beach has many older homes with outdated electrical wiring. Their antiquated components and/or normal wear and tear present safety concerns. They may also not be strong enough to efficiently power your home.

Not sure if you are due for electrical wiring upgrades? The following signs might indicate that you are:

Aluminum Wiring

For many years, aluminum wiring was the industry standard for residential electrical systems. This is largely because it was the cheapest solution.

In more recent years, copper has become the go-to choice. It is a little more expensive but much more efficient at conducting electricity. Copper is also less likely to cause fire hazards.

If you have an older home in Myrtle Beach, your system might have aluminum wiring. You’ll definitely want to upgrade to copper for a safer, more efficient system.

Two-Pronged, Ungrounded Outlets

When you think of a modern outlet, you picture the three-pronged ones.

Homes built before 1962, however, often have two-prong ungrounded outlets. These put residents at a higher risk of electrocution. And, they may damage electronics when power surges happen.

If these reasons aren’t compelling enough, consider the fact that most modern electronics require three-pronged outlets. So, if your home has two-pronged outlets, you’ll want to upgrade to three-pronged outlets.

Missing GFCI

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) prevent electrical shocks and overheated circuits. They do this by halting power flow between electrical and grounded sources.

You should have GFCIs in specific locations throughout your home. If you have a missing GFCI in your kitchen/bathroom/etc., you should get a new one installed.
