  1. Should You Replace Old Wiring?

  2. Electrical Service in Long Islandwiring is a vital component of your home as it feeds all electrical appliances with power. However, over time these parts tend to deteriorate, presenting severe problems like shock or fire hazards. Aging might contribute to unsafe wiring, but this does not necessarily mean it has to be replaced.

  3. Identifying Old Wiring Most homes with an old wiring system have a knob-and-tube system with insulating knobs and tubes that run the wiring along and through the house. In addition, wires are prevented from coming into contact with each other by a ceramic insulator that prevents the wires from coming into contact with combustible material such as wood.

  4. No Ground Wiring is usually fitted with a ground system which is vital for safety. However, since knob-and-tube wiring has a two-wire system, it lacks a ground system. Although this does not necessarily mean it is unsafe, it still doesn’t guarantee the safety of the users since there’s no ground to protect sensitive electrical appliances and other appliances.

  5. Common Problems to Look For We have a dedicated staff that is well-informed and can help you identify typical problems usually found with old systems. Some of these issues include: damaged or missing wire insulation, exposed splices, wiring surrounded by building insulation, and fuse boxes with fuses larger than 20 amps.
