Whole Home Rewiring

What Are The Benefits Of Having My Home Rewired?

If you're considering having your home rewired, knowing about all the benefits that come with it can help you make the decision. Some of the advantages include:

• Increased Safety - Without a doubt, this is the big one. The older the wiring in your home, the bigger the chance that some of it, or the insulation surrounding it, has degraded to the point that it might be leaking electrical current into its local environment. This heat up is what can eventually cause an electrical fire, and because it's related to your wiring it's often hidden away until it's too late. With a whole home rewire you can be sure all your home's wiring is in good, safe shape.
• Better Capacity - There are more and more pieces of advanced equipment or appliances that we all have in our homes these days, and with that increase comes an increase in the amount of power needed to run them all. An older home may not have the electrical capacity to meet all your needs, but a whole home rewire is an excellent opportunity to also update your electrical panel and prep your home for higher electrical capacity.
• Save Money - There are a couple of ways a whole home rewire can make things easier on your wallet in the long run. First, having newer wiring means it will move electricity through your home with higher efficiency and fewer losses, which can help save on your monthly power bill. Furthermore, the increased safety can also have an impact on your home insurance premiums, since the possibility of a fire will drop dramatically.
• Higher Resale Value - Most people aren't thinking of upgrading their home purely for what it will do for them if they decide to sell it, but it's not bad to keep in mind regardless. If you have an older, classic home but can say that it has a modern electrical system, that'll be a great selling point that will help increase your asking price.
