Frequently Asked Questions
My lights dim when the microwave runs in my 1980s Oil Township home. Is the original wiring to blame?
Homes from 1981 were wired for a different era. Your original NM-B Romex cables, now 45 years old, have insulation that can become brittle. The bus bars in your panel may have oxidation from decades of thermal cycling. AFCI breakers, which are critical for preventing arc faults in aging wiring, are likely not present in a system of this era. The grounding electrode system may also need evaluation, as standards have evolved significantly since 1981.
