Do you live in an older house, with outlets that are keeping you stuck in the past? Our modern lives depend heavily on high tech devices, from refrigerators to computers, it’s important that your expensive appliances get the power they need. When you’re trying to live a 21st century lifestyle in a 1950’s home, it can be frustrating and dangerous. Old wiring and unreliable circuits put your home at risk for a variety of negative consequences. At Mr. Electric, we help property owners in Atlanta, Buckhead, Roswell, Marietta, Sandy Springs and other Metro area communities get the power they need to fuel their lives. We want to make sure that local homes and businesses are a safe and convenient place to be. It isn’t always easy to tell if your electrical system needs to be updated, so we’ve put together a short list of the three biggest signs it’s time to get an upgrade. Outlet Replacement in Atlanta
If your house was built in 1945, and you aren’t sure when the last time your wiring was updated, its likely that you’re in need of an upgrade. Today’s high tech culture demands a lot more from your outlets than the 1950’s household required. New homes are now built with 200 amp circuits, so if your outlets are still running on 60 amps, then you’re behind the times. It’s important to realize that outdated wiring isn’t just an inconvenience, it can also be very dangerous. Certain metals and methods of 20th century electrical systems are susceptible to hazards like electrocution and fires. If you find yourself frequently running to the breaker box every time you make a smoothie, there’s a good chance it’s time to call a professional.
The majority of today’s major appliances and electronic devices need outlets with 3 prongs. Some people “fix” the issue by purchasing accessories that allow them to plug in their devices, but this solution is misleading. Outlets with 2 prongs aren’t grounded. That means every time you plug in your toaster or desktop computer, you’re risking electrocution and damaged property. If you want to keep your smart TV and laptop safe, then you need to get your outlets updated as soon as possible.
GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. They protect against electrical shock by interrupting the flow of electricity in potentially dangerous situations. Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and other areas where contact with water is likely to occur, should have GFCI outlets installed. If your house doesn’t have these life-saving outlets, then you need to call an electrician right away. Otherwise, you’re unnecessarily risking personal injury and even death.
