Your electrical system allows you a great many luxuries and conveniences, from heating water and powering your dishwasher to running your television and charging your phone. To say that the modern electrical system is one of the most important parts of any home is no exaggeration. You must remember, though, that electricity does have the potential to be dangerous. If the electrical wiring in your home is not in proper working order, you may be at risk of fires and other dangers. That is why you should schedule any electrical wiring services in Boca Raton, FL with the electricians on our staff. Read the following information, and contact All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning if you have any concerns about your electrical wiring.

How Old Is Your Home?

In many instances of electrical fires in residences, it is the insulation surrounding the wiring that acts as the catalyst of the fire. This insulation can degrade over time. If your home is more than 50 years old, and the wiring in your home is all original, then you should have a professional electrician come to evaluate its condition. It may not be necessary to rewire your system, but at the very least you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that your wiring is safe.

Are Your Outlets Discolored?

If your outlets are beginning to look a bit charred on the outside, just imagine what they may look like from the other side. If you notice that any outlets in your home are discolored, you should contact us to schedule service immediately. There may be arcing issues behind that outlet that are leading to this burning, or you may have wiring that is just getting far too hot in your walls.

Is Your Breaker Tripping?

The whole point of having a circuit breaker, as opposed to a fuse box, is to reset circuits conveniently and safely when the breaker trips. If you are doing this with great frequency, though, it could be a sign of either bad wiring, or simply that your older wiring cannot handle the electrical demand in your home. Either way, professional wiring services may be necessary.
