How to Tell You Require a Rewiring

You could experience many different electrical problems in your home or commercial property, but in some situations, rewiring the building could be the only solution. Hunt’s Services typically tries to repair your electrical problem first, but that isn’t always possible.

For instance, if your home has aluminum wiring, you should replace it. The reason is that aluminum wiring is less durable than copper and, therefore, is prone to damage that could cause fires. In short, copper prices in the 1960s forced home builders to look for alternative wiring methods. They settled on aluminum because it was cheap but quickly realized that it was a fire hazard. Aluminum wiring was discontinued in the early 1970s, but if your home was built between the mid-60s and early 70s, there’s a good chance it has aluminum wiring that should be replaced.

If you notice a burning smell in your home, there’s a good chance you have an electrical problem that requires rewiring. This smell often appears when your wires generate too much heat, either because they’re damaged or old. This scenario could be dangerous, so it’s a good idea to turn your breaker off and call an electrician to inspect your system.

You could run into outlet problems when your home needs rewiring, too. First, your outlets could spark or give you a shock when your wiring starts to break down. You could also notice your outlets turning brown or black, which means they’re generating too much heat. Loose wiring near your outlets is a common cause of these issues.

An electrical circuit breaker that seems like it’s constantly tripping could signal the need for rewiring. While the occasional trip is totally normal, it could indicate a wiring problem when it happens continuously. This issue could also mean your panel is nearing the end of its usefulness.

No matter the electrical problem you’re experiencing, Hunt’s Services can help you out. Call us at 253-533-7500 to book a rewiring appointment in Kent, WA, and the rest of King County.

How Your Rewiring Will Go

You should know that rewiring a home or commercial property is a large job, and it must be completed by a certified professional. There’s simply too much that can go wrong, and attempting the rewiring yourself will undoubtedly lead to problems in the future.

Hunt’s Services will begin your rewiring by inspecting your electrical system. During this phase, we’ll determine if a replacement is possible or if you need all new wiring throughout your home.

If we determine that rewiring is the way to go, we’ll start by developing a plan. We’ll probably need to look in your crawlspace and attic for access points during this step, as this will show us where to run the wires for the best possible results.

Next, we might begin removing your old wiring. While the old wiring that’s visible or close to the outlets will be removed, we might leave some old wiring behind your drywall in place. These wires won’t hurt anything once disconnected, and leaving them makes the job quicker and easier.

From there, it’s time to install your new wiring. The good news is that we won’t have to remove all your drywall. Modern techniques allow us to run the wires without much direct access to your studs, as we can attach these wires to your joists and rafter. We can also use junction boxes to keep everything organized and secured.

Rewiring isn’t a quick job, but knowing that your electrician is taking the time to do it right adds peace of mind. Call Hunt’s Services at 253-533-7500 to book your appointment in Kent, Washington, and throughout the Puget Sound area.
