Electrical Upgrades in Alexandria

HEAVY UPS PERFORMED BY EXPERT ELECTRICIANS

Did you know that the average home in Alexandria has already surpassed 6 full decades? That means most of the homes in city were built between 1940 and 1955 during a time when electricity was in much lower demand than it is today. In fact, from 1950 to 2010 there has been a 10 fold increase in electricity consumption by household across the entire United States. When a home goes from a single small radio to hair dryers, microwaves, refrigerators, televisions, phone chargers, & computers, it is easy to see why electrical usage has skyrocketed over the years.

The issue is that although electrical usage has increased, many home’s in Alexandria have not had their electrical systems upgraded to properly handle the increased current demand. This can lead major inconveniences like blown fuses or flipped breakers, to more serious issues like electrocution or electrical fires!

A WARNING ABOUT ALUMINUM WIRING

For a short time during the 60’s to about the early 70’s a good deal of homes in the Norther VA area, were built with aluminum wiring. Although thought to be a strong, reliable, and affordable option at the time, time has shown that this aluminum wiring ages very badly. It is especially vulnerable and susceptible to issues where it connects to light switches and outlets. It is a major fire hazard to homes and should be removed and replaced with proper copper wiring.
