Electric Wiring in Nashville, TN

There are a number of reasons you need electric wiring upgrades, including increased power needs, the age of your home (40+ years old means you probably need upgrades), and updating to meet electrical code and safety.

A trained electrician can help you address and remedy these issues and ensure your home is properly equipped to handle your family’s power needs. Keep in mind that this is not an ideal DIY job because the risks of improper installation, electrocution, or fire are too significant.

Call a professional like Hoffmann Brothers and reap the benefits of the value increase to your home.

Basic Electrical Wiring Questions & Tips to Cover

There are a few things you can do initially to help the process along and give the electrician a better idea of the state of your home’s electrical wiring, such as:

• Check your circuit breakers for signs of rust, pest damage, ease of switching on/off
• Test GFCI and all other outlets to ensure proper function (Tip: You can buy a cube tester that will light up in different colors to indicate different issues).
• Inspect wires that you can see for cracks or splits
• Test your voltage (ex: 120-volt outlets can read between 110-130 and be fine)
• Check extension cords for damage and proper amperage rating

Those warning signs could include any of the following:

• Dimming, flickering, or blown lights
• Breakers that blow or trip often
• Burning smell
• Two prong outlets instead of GFCI outlets
• Warm, discolored, or sparking outlets
• Tingling sensation when touching appliances

It is pivotal to your home’s safety to address these issues. Our electricians are well-versed in fixing wiring problems and stay up to date with the latest National Electric Code (NEC) changes, which are revised every three years to ensure that they stay current with the ever-evolving technology that depends on it.[1]

Some reasons to consider an upgrade include the following:

• You may have aluminum wiring from the 1960s and ‘70s that has a lower melting point than the standard copper wire required today
• You may need to increase the amps of your electrical panel to account for the increased power demand of large appliances, HVAC, TVs, and other electronic devices of the modern world that require 200+ amps.
