When things quit working right in your home it starts to feel less like home and more like a burden, which is why it is important to stay on top of the electrical wiring in your home. The problem with wiring issues is that it’s not only an hassle it also poses a safety risk. Improper electrical writing or old wiring can lead to a fire or electrocution of a member of your family. For that reason, if you have any reason to suspect that your home may benefit from rewiring this is not a task that you want to put on the backburner. FEMA states that about 10% of all home fires are caused by outdated electrical writing within homes, so if your home is over 30 years old it may be time to think about rewiring.
