What Are the Signs You Need Rewiring Services?
Your home's electrical wiring plays a crucial role in keeping your appliances, lights, and devices running safely. Over time, wiring can become outdated or damaged, leading to safety hazards and electrical problems. If you notice frequent issues with your electrical system, rewiring may be necessary to prevent fires and power failures.
Signs You Need Rewiring Services:
- Flickering or dimming lights – This could mean faulty or overloaded wiring.
- Frequent circuit breaker trips – If breakers keep shutting off, your wiring may be struggling to handle the load.
- Burning smell or scorch marks – Outlets or switches with discoloration or a burning odor could indicate overheating wires.
- Outdated wiring – If your home is over 40 years old and hasn’t been rewired, the system may not meet modern safety standards.
- Buzzing or sparking outlets – These are signs of dangerous wiring issues that need immediate attention.
- Two-prong outlets – Older homes with ungrounded two-prong outlets may need an upgrade for safety.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s best to have a professional electrician inspect your home and determine if rewiring is needed.

A-TEMP Heating, Cooling & Electrical came recommended from a friend who is a current inspector. I've used them for years for furnace and AC maintenance. Their customer service is excellent—helpful, friendly, and persistent in scheduling my maintenance. I appreciate that they've never pushed to replace my old furnace but instead helped me decide when to repair or replace without being pushy about sales. Finding trustworthy repair folks is hard, and I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.- Sara T.
