Ensure Your Wiring Can Handle Summer Heat Waves

Summer brings long days and much-awaited sunshine, but these sweltering heat waves can also put a strain on your home’s electrical wiring.

It’s crucial for homeowners to ensure that their electrical systems can withstand the increased demand.

At Castle Electric Inc., our Norwood and Newton electricians specialize in making sure your wiring is up to task, keeping your home safe and efficient during the hottest months of the year.

Understanding the Impact of Summer Heat on Electrical Systems

When temperatures soar, many households crank up air conditioning units, fans, and other cooling systems. This increased usage can lead to a spike in electrical consumption, which tests the capacity of your existing wiring. Overburdened circuits or outdated wiring, like BX wiring and knob and tube wiring, can lead to malfunctions or even electrical fires.

What You Can Do to Prepare

Taking proactive steps to assess and upgrade your electrical system can prevent costly issues and ensure safety:

• Schedule an Electrical Inspection: A thorough electrical inspection by a professional can identify potential weak points in your system.
• Upgrade Wiring and Panels: Especially in older homes, consider upgrading to modern wiring and upgrading your electrical panel that can better handle increased loads.
• Add Circuit Breakers: Ensuring you have sufficient circuit breakers can help distribute electrical load more evenly across your system.
• Consider Surge Protection: Protect your appliances from unexpected power surges, which are more frequent during summer storms, with whole-home surge protection.
