What is aluminum wiring and is it dangerous?

Have a qualified electrician inspect aluminum wiring immediately if your home was built during this period.

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?

Replace your electrical panel in Raleigh immediately if breakers trip repeatedly, you smell burning plastic, your home has under 200 amps, your panel contains defective brands (Zinsco, Federal Pacific, Pushmatic), or it's over 30–40 years old.
