While the electrical infrastructure of an old house will not wear away with time, external forces like water damage and weather can still have an impact. Keep an eye out for flickering lights, blown fuses, and loose outlets—these are signs that your wiring is damaged in some way.
If your house is older, install a new service panel and replace all outlets with modern, three-pronged units to prevent electrocution. With these upgrades, your home’s electrical infrastructure will work efficiently for years to come.
Make sure you also carry out domestic electrical maintenance at least once a year.
