Electrical Wiring & Upgrade

Electrical Wiring & Upgrade Service

The electrical wiring in your building works quietly behind the scenes to distribute power to the many outlets and switches in your home or business. For many property owners, these wires are out of sight and out of mind. Forgetting or ignoring these crucial lines can be costly, however. Whether you’re dealing with flickering lights or planning a major renovation, understanding how your wiring works is instrumental in enjoying the convenience of electricity. If you’re experiencing issues with your electrical wiring, then call Mr. Electric to consult with an experienced electrician today.

How does electrical wiring work?

At its core, your home’s wiring system is a network of cables that deliver electricity from your main panel to outlets, switches, and fixtures. Here’s how the magic happens:

  • Main Electrical Panel: As the nerve center of your home’s electrical system, this panel receives power from the utility company and distributes it through individual circuits.
  • Circuits: These are dedicated pathways that carry electricity to specific parts of your home or business.
  • Wiring: Cables within the walls, floors, and ceilings carry the electrical current to outlets, switches, and devices.

How long does electrical wiring last?

Electrical wiring isn’t something you replace often, but it’s not eternal either. The lifespan of your wiring depends on factors like material and installation quality:

  • Copper Wiring: Common in most homes today, copper wiring can last 50–70 years with proper maintenance.
  • Aluminum Wiring: Popular in buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, aluminum is less durable and more prone to issues. They have a lifespan closer to 30–40 years.

Even if your wiring is technically within its lifespan, wear and tear from daily use or environmental factors like rodents or moisture can accelerate the need for an electrical upgrade.

Signs it’s time for rewiring

How do you know when your home’s wiring needs attention? Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to call an electrician to investigate:

  • Flickering lights aren’t just annoying; they can signal loose connections or overloaded circuits.
  • If your circuit breakers trip often, it may indicate your wiring is struggling to handle your home’s electrical load.
  • Burning odors, melted switches, or discolored outlets are urgent warning signs of overheating or electrical fires.
  • Older two-prong outlets lack the safe grounding necessary for today’s power-hungry electronics.
  • Electrical systems should be silent. Buzzing noises often point to faulty wiring or loose connections.
  • If you’re upgrading a room or adding an extension, older wiring might not be equipped to handle the additional load.

It’s always advisable to consult with a certified electrician if you suspect your electrical wiring is falling behind. The team of dedicated electricians in Virginia Beach, VA at Mr. Electric is here to help.

Breon and P.J. we're very courteous and professional.  Breon did point out an issue with my plan and what needed to be done to do the job to code. I understood and we quickly agreed on the new plan and additional costs. The job was done correctly and looks amazing. Highly recommend!!!

We called Mr. Electric one day blindly because of the big electrical short in the house. They sent us the technician, Ethan, the next day. What a nice and honest young man! I highly recommend this place to anybody looking for an electrician, especially if you’re cold calling. And make sure you ask for Ethan! What a fine young man!

Mr. Electric was prompt and professional from my initial call through service completion. Breon was the on-site electrician. He completed a property wide electrical inspection upon arrival and discussed results, potential fixes and associated costs. He installed a GFCI breaker and repaired outlet issues quickly and professionally while being very respectful of our home. Well done.

I was selling my home and only had a few days to complete the work. Thankfully Mr. Electric had some availability and got me scheduled quickly. Before the tech arrived, the company sent a nice bio and photo of the person who would be showing up. He arrived right on time and was kind enough to wear shoe covers (a lot of people don’t do this and it drives me crazy). Breon was such a pleasure to have in my home. He was kind, patient, and very knowledgable. We had a bit of hiccup and  he was a bit stressed, but it turned out to be an easy fix and once everything was complete, he did a great job of cleaning up after himself. I would recommend this company, and specifically Breon, to anyone who needs electrical work done correctly, safely, and responsibly priced.
