Although you may feel that the wiring in your home is not that old, it is important to make sure that they undergo a proper inspection. Old wiring is potentially hazardous and should be kept well-maintained. If your wires appear corroded, stripped, or altered you need to have them upgraded ASAP!
According to the National Fire Prevention Association, faulty wiring is the leading cause of residential fires. Knob and tube wiring is the oldest variety so it is vital to make sure it is up to code.

- Tripped breakers or blown fuses.
- Flickering or dimming lights.
- Chronic burning smells coming from appliances.
- Sparking outlets.
Even if you have not recently witnessed any of these warning signals, but you can’t remember the last time you had your home’s wiring inspected, it would behoove you to have it checked out by a professional.
