Electrical service should be checked out
Electrical services should be taken very seriously, especially if you live in an older home. One of the many reasons for electrical service is to bring your home or business up to code. This is not something you have to do immediately, but if you are planning to add a new room or remodel your whole house, and especially if you plan to sell your house, you should find out about the local law where building codes are concerned. Even if you do not need to bring your house up to code before you sell it, doing so will probably boost the sale price above the price — or, to put it more accurately, not doing so will cost you more money than you will save.
Remember that the Charlotte area is an old and long-settled part of the United States. Fort Mill, SC was established in 1873, and settlers were living there for a hundred years before that. Rock Hilldates back to the mid-nineteenth century. Waxhawwas established in 1889, and settlers were living there for more than a hundred years before that.And the city of Charlotte itself was incorporated before the American Revolution — in fact, it was named after the wife of George III. People have been living in this part of the country for a very long time, which means that a lot of people in this area live in some very old houses.
And any old house that has stood for this long is probably worth preserving. At the same time, if it was built when few houses had anything more demanding of energy than a light bulb, its electrical system almost certainly needs an update.
Other reasons to bring your system up to code
Even if you are not planning to sell your house any time soon, bringing the system up to code is a good way to prevent electrical fires. For one things, a modern home entertainment system or a collection of kitchen appliances demands a lot of power, and an obsolete system may not be able to handle it. This carries a risk of fire. And while electricians are updating your system, they can find other flaws and weak spots in it that you might not otherwise learn about in time.
