Older New England Homes May Have Trouble Handling High Summer Temperatures

May 20, 2012 - PRLog -- After the very mild winter of 2012, weather forecasters are predicting higher than normal temperatures as well as high humidity for the summer months.  New England is unique in that many of the homes are older and have outdated electrical systems.  More often than not these systems, when overloaded, cause dangerous electrical situations.  CNE Electrical can prevent those situations from happening with an economical electrical upgrade to older North Shore homes.

We spoke at length to one of the electrical experts with CNE Electrical and he explained to us, ‘North Shore towns are full of beautiful old homes that were built in an era when electrical demand was much lower than it is today.  These electrical systems are ill-equipped to handle the demands of all modern appliances as well as air conditioning units.  Having your home’s electrical systems checked is essential for the safety of your family and your home.’  He said.

CNE Electrical has years of experience with older homes and their electrical wiring.  Their technicians are trained to identify and solve these age related system problems.  However, system upgrades are just a part of the services they offer.  CNE Electrical can install a variety of lighting; both indoor and outdoor as well as telephone, data and heating and air conditioning units.  The company services the North Shore towns of Beverly, Wenham, Hamilton, Topsfield, Rowley, Ipswich, Danvers, Peabody, Salem, Newburyport, Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester-by-the-Sea.

Our chat with the CNE Electrical expert continued.  He cautioned us, ‘If using the air conditioning last summer caused your lights to flicker, tripped circuit breakers or caused fuses to blow, these are signs that your electrical system may be stretched to the very edge of its capacity.  This could cause an electrical fire.  Have one of our technicians inspect and upgrade your system to insure it can handle the demand of the summer season safely.’
