When Will Your Home Need Rewiring?
Rewiring may be necessary if your home has outdated, unsafe, or inadequate electrical systems. Signs that rewiring is needed include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, outlets that spark or feel warm, and noticeable burning odors. Homes built before the 1970s often lack the capacity to handle today’s electrical demands, making them more prone to overloads.
Upgrading your wiring improves both safety and performance. It ensures your electrical system can handle modern appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment without risk. At Jack Lehr Heating Cooling & Electric, we assess your home’s current system, identify areas of concern, and provide safe, reliable rewiring solutions tailored to your needs.
Special Rewiring Situation: Knob & Tube Wiring Removal
Many older homes in Pennsylvania were originally built with knob and tube wiring, which is now outdated and unsafe. This system lacks grounding, has insulation that deteriorates over time, and often cannot handle modern electrical loads. Insurance companies may even refuse coverage for homes with active knob and tube wiring.
At Jack Lehr Heating Cooling & Electric, our Comfort Specialists are experienced in safely removing knob and tube wiring and replacing it with modern, code-compliant wiring. This not only improves safety but also increases your home’s value and reliability. If your home still has knob and tube wiring, it’s important to address it as soon as possible to avoid hazards.
We Install Dedicated Circuits
Many modern appliances and systems—such as HVAC units, refrigerators, ovens, and sump pumps—require dedicated circuits. These circuits ensure high-demand devices have their own power supply without overloading other parts of your system. Without dedicated circuits, your breakers may trip frequently, or appliances may fail prematurely.
At Jack Lehr Heating Cooling & Electric, we install dedicated circuits that allow your appliances to operate safely and efficiently. Whether you’re adding a new home office, remodeling your kitchen, or installing an electric vehicle charger, we’ll make sure your electrical system is properly equipped to handle the load.
Upgrade Your Home With GFCI and AFCI Outlets
Modern safety standards require Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors, where moisture can increase shock risks. Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlets are designed to prevent fires caused by dangerous arcing in wiring or appliances. Together, these upgrades significantly improve your home’s safety.
Our Comfort Specialists install GFCI and AFCI outlets that meet today’s electrical codes and provide reliable protection. Whether you’re upgrading an older home or adding new circuits, these outlets are an essential investment for your family’s safety and comfort.
