Electricity is the foundation of any modern home, but, like all other aspects of a house, it requires maintenance to function safely. Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t know when their property needs rewiring and often miss the early warning signs. Miller & Humphrey Plumbing & Electric is a family-owned company specializing in plumbing and electrical repairs. For over 60 years, their team of skilled electrical contractors has helped Enterprise, AL, residents with home rewiring projects to keep their houses protected from electrical failure.

The last thing any homeowner wants is for their power to short out—or worse, start a fire. As such, there are a few signs you should look out for to figure out if you need rewiring services: 

• You’ve Been Electrocuted: No switch, socket, or home appliance should ever cause you physical harm. Whether you’ve experienced a mild or severe shock, electrocution is a major sign your home’s electricity needs to be inspected. Your electrician may suggest either a partial or full house rewiring, depending on the specific situation at hand.
• You Need Extension Cords To Reach Your Devices: There should be a fair number of outlets in each room of your house to conveniently accommodate the electrical items you need to plug in. If your devices don’t quite reach the power outlets, don’t go for the extension cord; call an electrical contractor instead. Rewiring could allow you to create outlets where you need them in your home.
• Your Home Is Old: If your house is over 40 years old, chances are it’ll need electrical rewiring soon. Have an electrical contractor examine your home for any potential dangers and schedule an appointment for rewiring as soon as possible. Miller & Humphrey Plumbing & Electric provides a variety of electrical repairs and installations to keep properties safe from electrical fires and faulty wiring.
