Rewiring your house can reduce the chance of an electrical accident happening because of outdated, subpar, or broken wiring. The warning signals indicating the property’s wiring may require replacement should be watched out for by homeowners.
But how can you determine whether your house requires new wiring or a fuse box? Here are a few indicators that show your house needs rewiring:
- Burning stench that lingered
Your home may require rewiring if there is a burning smell that won’t go away and you haven’t cooked your meal. Immediately cut off the electricity at the circuit and call an electrician if you smell burning but can’t place the source.
- Charred or stained switches or sockets
Brown stains on electrical sockets may be formed by tiny fires started by loose connections inside the sockets, which can result in tiny arcs of electricity and fire. Additionally, just because there aren’t any scorch marks doesn’t indicate there isn’t an issue because arcing could happen in the wiring inside the walls. Any discoloration shouldn’t be ignored because ignoring it could make it worse.
- Flickering lights
One flickering or dimming light is probably just a bulb issue, but if you experience flickering lights frequently in multiple different rooms, it may be an indication of electrical issues and needs to be looked into.
- Fuses frequently blow
Although it may just be a defective item, if the fuses blow frequently and without warning, it may indicate that your home needs to be rewired. However, if it persists and you are unable to pinpoint an appliance that might be to blame, call an electrician to examine your wiring.
- Hanging plugs
It can be quite dangerous if one or more wall sockets are protruding from the wall and exposing the wires behind them, especially if you have kids or pets. Hire an electrician to fix the socket, and then swiftly inspect the entire system.
- Frequent circuit breaker tips
Even while the circuit breaker occasionally trips, this is normal, having it do so frequently indicates a problem. It suggests that you are exceeding the breaker’s safety capacity and that you should address the problem before it jeopardizes your family’s safety.
- Electric Shock
It needs to be checked immediately if you experience any kind of electric shock while plugging an electrical appliance into a socket. Similar to this, get a socket checked if it is making a buzzing noise.
If you own your home, it is advised that your electrical installation be evaluated every 10 years, and every five years if you rent. Older homes also frequently have fewer electrical outlets, which increases the likelihood of using extension cords and increases the risk of dangerously overloaded outlets.
