What are the signs that my home needs an electrical service upgrade?

Signs that you may need an electrical service upgrade include frequently tripped circuit breakers, flickering lights, a burning smell near outlets or breaker panels, reliance on multiple extension cords, and the inability to run multiple appliances simultaneously. If your home is older and has not had an electrical upgrade, it might be time to consult an electrician to evaluate your system.

What is double tapping and why is it a problem?

Double tapping occurs when two wires are connected to a single circuit breaker terminal. This can lead to loose connections, overheating, and potential electrical fires. Most circuit breakers are designed to accept only one wire, and double tapping can compromise the integrity of the connection, making it a significant safety hazard.
