"Rob is a true professional, and a great person. We worked with him last year for a few items needed done in our new (very old) home, and he was terrific. Reliable, punctual, and very knowledgeable. Also, super nice, which is always a bonus. We wouldn't go to anyone else for anything related to electrical issues. Thank you, Rob!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

The average lifespan of a home electrical system is anywhere from 30 to 70 years or more, depending on the type of system you have. Modern electrical wiring, like aluminum or copper, can last 50 to 70 years while older types may need to be replaced sooner. Additionally, circuit breakers tend to last anywhere from 30 to 40 years, while electrical outlets need to be replaced every 10 to 25 years. 

A house with aluminum wiring doesn't always need a complete replacement but requires careful maintenance and potential safety upgrades. Aluminum wiring can pose fire risks due to its tendency to expand and contract, leading to loose connections. Safety measures include installing aluminum-compatible outlets, applying anti-oxidant paste, or using copper pigtailing at connections. Consulting a licensed electrician for an inspection and necessary updates can ensure the wiring meets current safety standards without needing a total replacement.

Yes, most electric heated bathroom floor systems require a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit to ensure safety and proper function. An electrician may need to upgrade your panel or run new wiring, which can increase installation costs. Always check local building codes and manufacturer recommendations before installation to ensure a safe and compliant setup.

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

A new circuit breaker costs anywhere between $10 and $100 on average, depending on the type of circuit breaker. A standard circuit breaker is the most affordable, while a GFCI or AFCI circuit breaker will cost the most. If you’re upgrading to a higher amperage, anticipate paying closer to $250 to $350 for a 200-amp circuit breaker.
