Outdated or damaged electrical wiring is one of the most common yet overlooked hazards in Nigerian homes. At ENZTROVOLT ENGINEERING, we’ve helped countless clients avoid fire outbreaks, appliance damage, and rising electricity bills simply by rewiring their homes at the right time to ensure Electrical Satety.
Here are 7 signs it’s time to rewire your home:
Understanding Electrical Satety and Its Importance
1. Constant tripping of breakers or fuses
This means your electrical system is overloaded or unstable.
2. Flickering or dimming lights
If this happens without reason, it’s likely faulty or old wiring.
3. Buzzing sounds from sockets or switches
These sounds indicate loose or arcing wires, which are dangerous.
4. Burning smell with no clear source
A serious red flag — likely melting wires inside your walls.
5. Frequent power surges
This can destroy electronics and damage your appliances.
6. Aluminum wiring in old homes
Homes built before the 1990s may have aluminum wiring, which corrodes faster than copper.
7. Lack of grounding or three-prong outlets
Old systems lack proper grounding and can’t handle modern appliances.
