Houses built before the 1950s have a high chance of having faulty wiring because, in the 1950s, the House electrical wiring standards were less stringent than today. That why it is best to Call your nearby Inlightech Electrician for an Electrical Fault Finding Service for Faulty Wiring. Older homes were built to handle 30 amps of power, most newer homes demand 100 to 200 amps which have a significant strain on a home’s wiring and electrical system.
If your home was built between 1965 to 1973, consider having the aluminium wiring inspected as the wall sockets, switches and cable connections installed during this era are frequently problematic because aluminium wiring oxidizes and degrades more quickly than copper wiring.
Precaution against Faulty Wiring
Excessive or uncontrolled heat can start fires as the electric current passing through faulty wiring to switches, plugs and appliances generate heat. To help prevent electrical fires, know how to use and store plugs and electrical cords, and take these precautions:
⦁ Don’t run cords under carpeting, bedding or other combustible materials. Also, avoid placing cords across doorways or frequently travelled areas.
⦁ Discard frayed or broken cords, and never splice two cords together.
⦁ Don’t overload outlets or use extension cords in place of outlets, install additional outlets as necessary by calling in an electrician
⦁ Ensure plugs fit snugly in outlets to prevent shock and excess heat.
The most common causes of electrical fires are:
⦁ Incorrectly installed wiring
⦁ Overloaded circuits and extension cords
⦁ Defective or improper plugs, switches and outlets
⦁ Misuse and poor maintenance of lighting
To prevent an electrical fire, learn to recognize the warning signs that indicate a possible faulty wiring or electrical problem and the best way to do that is Run an Electrical Safety Inspection in your home or building.
If you experience any of the following issues in your home:
⦁ Flickering or dimming lights
⦁ Switches or outlets that are hot to touch and/or emit an acrid odour
⦁ Discoloured cords, outlets and switch plates
⦁ Repeatedly blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers
Then it’s time to contact your nearby Inlightech electrician immediately for Electrical Fault Finding Service and repair those Faulty House Electrical Wiring.
