If your building is over 50 years old, you’ve probably paid great attention to a variety of wiring problems, such as flickering lights, hot or burnt outlets, or light fixtures that just won’t stay lit. These problems are usually caused by old, sometimes loose wiring.

For electrical rewiring in the Northwest Ohio area, Timber Creek Electric is here for you. Whether you need just one room or your entire building rewired, we have the tools and expertise to get the job done.

Why Rewiring Is Necessary

For a while in the mid-1900s, buildings were built with aluminum wiring instead of copper. At the time, however, aluminum wire was installed in the same way as copper, which led to a variety of problems.

Aluminum wiring doesn’t age well. When copper wiring rusts, the oxidation is electrically conductive. Aluminum, on the other hand, doesn’t create a conductive oxidation. Therefore, as aluminum wiring ages, it loses its conductivity and doesn’t deliver enough power to your appliances, especially large appliances such as compressors, air conditioners and automation systems.

Aluminum also expands and contracts with heat & resistance in the wire more than copper does, causing the wires to move and creating potential danger for electrical fires.

While modern buildings also use aluminum wiring, the installation process is more specific to the unique properties of aluminum. When you hire our trusted team of experts at Timber Creek Electric for rewiring, we’ll take a look at your building’s wiring system to see what kind of overhaul you need.

Sometimes, only parts of your building’s electrical system will need to be replaced, but if you have an old building or have experienced a lot of problems, you may need your entire building rewired. Rewiring can make your building both safer and more energy efficient and can even help increase its value.

Our experts can inspect all your service panels, wiring, outlets, switches, lighting, and more to ensure they meet code, provide sufficient current, and are in good condition. If we find code violations like too few outlets in a room, a lack of GFCI outlets in wet locations, or overloaded service panels, we can recommend the best ways to correct the problem and bring your building up to code.
