Faulty Wiring: The Hidden
Hazard in Your Home

Faulty electrical wiring is one of those issues that often goes unnoticed—until something goes wrong. From flickering lights to tripped breakers, the warning signs can seem small, but behind the scenes, bad wiring can pose serious safety risks. At Evergreen Electric, we believe every home should be safe, efficient, and wired the right way from the start.

Faulty wiring simply means your electrical system isn’t performing the way it should—whether due to age, poor installation, damage, or wear and tear. Over time, wires can loosen, corrode, or crack, creating unsafe conditions that may lead to electrical fires or power failures.

Some of the most common causes include:
  • Outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring in older homes
  • DIY electrical work or unlicensed repairs
  • Overloaded circuits or undersized wiring
  • Rodent damage in attics or crawl spaces
  • Loose connections behind outlets or switches

Even new homes aren’t immune—quick, low-cost electrical work can sometimes lead to dangerous shortcuts.
