What is the difference between a regular breaker and an Arc Fault breaker?

All breakers are made to make sure that your home’s or business’s wires don’t get too hot. So, all breakers are designed to trip or turn off if the circuit carries too much load. or if there is a short circuit present. Arc Fault breakers have the additional ability to sense arcing in a circuit. This happens if there’s a loose conductor or arcing in the cable that has a staple that’s too tight during construction.

AFCI breakers are required by the NEC, or National Electrical Code.

Is aluminum wiring a fire hazard or is my aluminum wiring safe?

It’s very common for older homes to have aluminum wiring installed. Aluminum wiring has been linked to many home fires because of loose connections over time and the wires simply can’t handle the current load that copper can. They’re also very fragile and break if bent a couple of times even if just pushed in the box after the outlet is installed. There are several options to replace them.

What is knob and tube wiring?

Knob and tube wiring is extremely old and should get replaced immediately. They’re exposed wires that are very dangerous. Call us today to see if you have this type of wiring.
