Several signs can indicate outdated or unsafe wiring, including flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers or blown fuses, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong outlets, crackling sounds from outlets, and the presence of cloth-covered or aluminum wiring. If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to have your wiring inspected by a qualified electrician like Couillard Electric.

Upgrading your electrical panel increases your home's electrical capacity, allowing you to safely use more appliances and electronics simultaneously. It also reduces the risk of overloaded circuits, which can lead to fires. A panel upgrade is often necessary when adding new appliances, additions to your home, or if your current panel is outdated or damaged.

LED lighting is significantly more energy-efficient than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lighting, saving you money on your energy bills. LEDs also have a much longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent bulb replacements. They produce less heat, making them safer and more comfortable, and they come in a variety of colors and styles to suit any home décor.

It's recommended to have a professional electrical inspection at least every 3-5 years, or whenever you buy or sell a home, undertake major renovations, or notice any signs of electrical problems.
