The electrical installation is the “heart” of any building, as it directly affects safety, reliability, and energy efficiency. Over time, natural wear, increased consumption demands, and changes in safety regulations can turn the installation into a source of danger. Timely identification of problems and proper upgrades protect both property and lives.
Why timely replacement is crucial
Safety: Protection against electric shock and fire.
Reliability: Stable power supply without unexpected outages.
Compliance: Alignment with modern standards (RCD, grounding, safe wiring).
Economy: Reduced energy losses and lower consumption costs.
The 10 most alarming signs
Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or the RCD – A sign of circuit overload or cable wear.
Smell of burning or melted plastic – Indicates overheating and insulation damage, with fire risk.
Sparks from outlets or switches – Often due to loose connections or worn contacts.
Lack of grounding – Significantly increases the risk of electric shock.
Warm or blackened outlets/switches – A sign of overheating and dangerous overload.
Frequent flickering of lights – Indicates unstable supply or poor connection.
Small electric shocks when touching appliances – Sign of current leakage and insufficient protection.
Old electrical panel without an RCD – Missing critical protection for immediate cut-off in case of fault.
Electrical installation over 30 years old – Materials and standards that no longer meet today’s requirements.
Unusual noise from the electrical panel or outlets – Indicates loose connections or faulty components, potentially leading to overheating and short circuits.
