No matter what type of electrical rewiring work you need to be performed, it is essential that you let a professional take care of it. Unless you are a master electrician and have all of the tools needed to get the job done, there are far too many things that can go wrong when rewiring a house. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you run the serious risk of injuring yourself or others and doing significant damage to your home. Make the safe decision and call the professionals at Raynor Services.
If you live in Burlington County, NJ, Ocean County, NJ, Atlantic County, NJ, Camden County, NJ, we can provide you with the following electrical rewiring services:
Knob and Tube Wiring
The knob and tube method was prevalent from the 1880s to the 1930s, but was it was used sparsely up until the 1970s. In this system, electricians soldered wires together and spliced them inside walls, without the use of junction boxes. They then wrapped the wires with electrical tape. Wiring was wrapped in cloth and rubber, covered with copper, and porcelain knobs were nailed to wood joists and studs. Porcelain tubes, with conductors inside, were inserted in holes. The wiring never touched wood structures or plaster inside a home, so the heat caused by overloads dissipated in the airspace between rafters and partitions.
Many older homes are still wired using this antiquated – and dangerous – method. Overtime, these conductors can become dry, or even bare, as their installation crumbles away. This crumbling gradually occurs due to excessive current flowing through the conductors or when short-circuits occur. The more power demanded by electronics and appliances, the more these conductors will deteriorate. When that happens, the risk of an electrical fire skyrockets. If you have knob and tube wiring in your home, it is time for you to consider rewiring your house, and you should call Raynor immediately.
Ground Fault Interrupt Circuits
It is very important that your home has GFCIs, or ground fault interrupter circuits. GFCIs protect everyone in your home from electrical burns or shocks by detecting ground faults and stopping a current if there is any sort of change. At Raynor Services, we can come to your home and install GFCIs to keep you and everyone else in your home safe.
