When it comes to home safety, faulty wiring is one of the most common—and dangerous—issues hiding behind your walls. Whether your home is decades old or showing signs of electrical problems, it’s crucial to have a licensed electrician assess the situation. At Fabri Electric, we specialize in locating and replacing outdated or faulty wiring to protect your home, your devices, and your loved ones.
Signs You May Have Faulty Wiring
Not sure if your wiring is an issue? Here are some red flags:
- Frequent tripped breakers or blown fuses
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Buzzing sounds or burning odors near outlets
- Warm or discolored switch plates
- Outlets that don’t work or spark when used
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call in a professional.
Is Your Home’s Wiring Outdated?
Here’s How We Find and Fix It
Step 1: Visual Inspection and Home Assessment
Our first step is always a thorough visual inspection. We look for signs of wear and tear, code violations, and outdated materials—like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring—that can pose serious safety risks. We also assess the age of your home and its current electrical load to understand if the system is meeting your household’s demands.
Step 2: Diagnostic Testing
Using specialized tools, we test your circuits, outlets, and electrical panel to check for voltage drops, overheating, and continuity issues. These tests help us pinpoint wiring that may be hidden but hazardous.
Step 3: Locating Problem Areas
Once we’ve identified the trouble spots, we use circuit tracers and sometimes thermal imaging to track wiring paths inside your walls. This non-invasive process helps us locate problems without tearing up your home.
Step 4: Planning a Safe Rewire
Depending on the scope of the issue, we may recommend a full or partial rewiring. We’ll explain your options, outline the work involved, and give you a clear estimate—no surprises. All work is done to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards for maximum safety and future resale value.
Step 5: Replacing the Wiring
Our electricians work carefully to replace faulty wiring while minimizing disruption to your home. This includes:
- Removing or bypassing dangerous old wiring
- Installing new copper wiring with proper grounding
- Replacing outlets, switches, and fixtures as needed
- Upgrading the electrical panel if required
- We take great care to ensure clean, professional work—inside and out.
Step 6: Final Testing and Inspection
Before we consider the job done, we test every circuit and connection. If required, we schedule the final inspection with the local building authority to ensure your wiring is 100% up to code.
