Knowing that your house’s wiring is in good shape is essential for the safety of your home. Tens of thousands of homes in the U.S. are affected by electrical fires. Many of these fires are caused by problems from outlets and receptacles or faulty house wiring. A large fraction of these fires can be prevented by inspecting, repairing, and/or replacing your house’s wiring. How do you know if your home needs rewiring? Here are a few warning signs to look for:
- Fuses that are blown frequently
- Dimming or flickering lights
- Switch plates, cords, or outlets that are hot to the touch or discolored
- Buzzing or sizzling sounds
- Burning smells
- Electrical shocks when you plug in a cord or touch a cord that’s already plugged in
- An over-amped electrical fuse box
- If your home was built between 1965-1973 and hasn’t had the wiring replaced since
