Following the evaluation, we provide clear recommendations and an estimate so you understand the work involved before moving forward.

Full Home Wiring & Rewiring FAQs
A grounded outlet includes a physical grounding wire that safely redirects excess electricity during a fault. This grounding path helps protect people and equipment and is the standard for most modern electrical systems.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet protects people by quickly shutting off power when it detects an imbalance in electrical current. GFCI outlets are designed to reduce the risk of electric shock, especially in areas with moisture such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces.
In some older homes where grounding is not present, GFCI outlets can be installed as a code-approved safety solution, even without a ground wire. However, a grounded outlet provides broader protection for sensitive electronics, while GFCI outlets focus primarily on personal safety.
A licensed electrician can help determine which option is best for your home based on your wiring, usage, and safety needs.
A two-prong outlet has only hot and neutral connections and does not provide grounding. These outlets are common in older homes and were standard before grounding became a safety requirement. Without grounding, there is a higher risk of electric shock and damage to sensitive electronics.
A three-prong outlet includes a grounding path in addition to hot and neutral. This grounding helps safely redirect excess electricity during a fault, making three-prong outlets safer and compliant with modern electrical standards.
If your home still has two-prong outlets, a licensed electrician can evaluate whether grounding is present and recommend safe solutions such as installing properly grounded outlets or adding GFCI protection where appropriate.
Flickering lights are often caused by loose wiring connections, overloaded circuits, or issues with light fixtures or switches. In some cases, the problem may be as simple as a loose bulb or an incompatible dimmer switch.
Other common causes include electrical panel issues, failing breakers, or large appliances cycling on and off, which can temporarily draw extra power. Flickering may also be a sign of aging or outdated wiring, especially in older homes.
If flickering lights occur frequently, affect multiple rooms, or are accompanied by buzzing sounds or burning odors, it’s important to have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system. Persistent flickering can indicate a safety issue that should be addressed promptly.
Common signs of breaker box or electrical panel problems include frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, and burning smells or scorch marks around the panel. You may also notice warm breakers, buzzing or crackling sounds, or breakers that won’t reset.
Other warning signs include outdated or overcrowded panels, corrosion inside the panel, or the need to use multiple power strips because there aren’t enough circuits. These issues can indicate that your electrical system is overloaded or no longer meeting current safety standards.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have a licensed electrician inspect your breaker box promptly. Electrical panel issues can pose serious safety risks if left unaddressed.
