The Types of Wiring Systems We Work With
Our team is skilled in working with a wide range of wiring types for both old and new systems, including the following:
Knob and Tube Wiring
Knob and tube wiring is one of the earliest electrical systems found in older homes. While it was revolutionary in its time, it often falls short of modern safety standards. Our technicians are experienced at inspecting, repairing, or replacing knob and tube wiring to ensure compliance with today’s codes, all while preserving the integrity of historic properties.
Non-metallic Cable (Romex)
Non-metallic cable, also known as Romex, is a commonly used wiring option in residential homes. It’s lightweight, cost-effective, and reliable for many standard electrical installations. Whether you're renovating or starting fresh, we work to provide safe and efficient solutions.
THHN/THWN Wire
THHN and THWN wires are versatile and durable, often used for industrial and commercial wiring projects. They are well-suited for both indoor and outdoor applications due to their resistance to heat and moisture.
UF Cable
UF (Underground Feeder) cable is designed for outdoor use, making it ideal for powering outdoor lights, garden features, and sheds. Its durability allows it to withstand underground exposure without additional protection.
Low Voltage Wiring
Low-voltage wiring is important for systems like home automation, security, and landscape lighting. We create efficient and organized wiring setups for added functionality and style.
Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring, commonly used in older homes and buildings, calls for careful attention due to potential safety concerns. Our electricians are skilled in inspecting and addressing aluminum wiring issues to prevent overheating or hazards.
When to Consider Wiring or Rewiring
Here are some key warning signs to watch for:
Frequent electrical problems: Flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or outlets that don’t seem to provide enough power are signs that your system might be struggling to keep up. This could indicate outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or other issues.
Older homes. Aging electrical systems may no longer meet today’s safety standards or support modern technology. Old wiring can pose fire risks and reduce efficiency.
Renovations: Remodeling or expanding your home often requires changes to the electrical wiring. Whether you’re reconfiguring rooms, adding wall outlets, or upgrading lighting, outdated wiring can hold you back.
Adding major appliances: Large appliances like refrigerators, HVAC systems, or electric vehicle chargers can place significant demands on your electrical setup. If your panel or wiring can’t handle the increased load, you risk outages or damage to your new equipment.
