LIGHT SWITCH OUTLET WIRING FAQs
Do I need to hire an electrician to install light switches and outlets?
Yes, you shouldn’t attempt electrical installation without proper training. A licensed electrical contractor is the safest person to install light switch and outlet wiring. They will install the wiring in accordance with the latest safety codes and standards. This minimizes the risk of shocks during installation and afterwards. It also significantly lowers the risk of electrical fires and other hazards.
When should I replace a light switch?
There are four signs that indicate that it may be time to replace a light switch:
• frequent flickering of the light or the light doesn’t turn on consistently
• cracks, burn marks, or a loose connection at the switch
• the switch feels hot to the touch during use
• more than 20 years have passed since the switch was installed
Why should I upgrade from aluminum wiring?
Aluminum wiring was used in homes in the 1960s and ‘70s. It is important to upgrade to more modern types of wiring for several reasons:
• Aluminum wiring is prone to overheating and can lead to electrical fires. This risk increases over time as connections can loosen and create arcing conditions.
•Home insurance can be difficult or extremely expensive to get for homes with aluminum wiring.
•Modern appliances and devices require more power than aluminum wiring can handle. Not upgrading can result in flickering lights or frequent tripping of the circuit breaker.
• Upgrading ensures compliance with current electrical codes and enhances overall home safety and value.
