Signs Your House Needs Rewiring
✔ Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips – A circuit breaker will trip the electrical flow when the circuit exceeds the number of amps it can handle. Circuit breakers can trip for several reasons e.g. overheating appliances, but it can also be a sign that you have faulty wiring.
✔ Aluminium Wiring – You can check if you have aluminium wiring by looking for ‘AL’ on the wiring jacket. Failing aluminium wire connections are a fire hazard and require replacement.
✔ Discoloured/Charred Outlets & Switches – This indicated a short being caused by either a loose connection or faulty wiring near the outlet/switch. Loose connections can lead to small fires which causes the charring.
✔ Burning Smell – If you notice a persistent burning smell that doesn’t seem to have a source this can be an indicator that you have an electrical short.
