Bow Tie Solutions, a Pea Ridge-based electrical contracting company, highlights the critical need for electrical system evaluations in Northwest Arkansas homes built before 2000, as outdated wiring and panels struggle to meet modern power demands.
The company reports that approximately 60 percent of homes constructed before the turn of the century operate with electrical infrastructure that falls short of current safety standards and power requirements. The increased electrical load from home offices, smart home technology, and electric vehicle charging stations places unprecedented strain on aging electrical systems throughout Benton, Madison, and Washington counties.
Bow Tie Solutions Residential Electrician services include comprehensive electrical system assessments that examine panel capacity, circuit load distribution, grounding systems, and overall wiring condition. These evaluations provide homeowners with detailed reports outlining current system status and necessary improvements to meet National Electrical Code standards.
Bill Towler, senior electrical contractor at Bow Tie Solutions, emphasizes the importance of proactive electrical assessments. "Regular inspections identify potential hazards before they become dangerous, particularly in homes where original wiring has been in service for several decades," said Towler. "Deteriorating wire insulation, improper grounding, and inadequate circuit distribution create serious fire hazards and can cause expensive equipment damage when left unaddressed."
The company's certified electricians frequently encounter electrical panels that cannot safely handle the power demands of modern households. Original 100-amp panels installed decades ago often require upgrading to 200-amp systems to accommodate contemporary electrical needs. These upgrades ensure safe power distribution for multiple high-demand appliances, HVAC systems, and emerging technologies that homeowners increasingly rely upon.
Bow Tie Solutions Electrical Wiring inspections reveal that many older homes contain aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, or deteriorating cloth-insulated wiring that poses significant safety risks. The company provides complete rewiring services when necessary, replacing outdated materials with modern copper wiring and proper insulation that meets current safety codes.
"Homeowners often remain unaware of electrical deficiencies until problems manifest through flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or warm outlet covers," Towler noted. "These warning signs indicate underlying issues that require immediate professional attention to prevent potential electrical fires or system failures."
The electrical contracting company also addresses the growing demand for electric vehicle charging station installations, which require dedicated circuits and often necessitate panel upgrades in older homes. Smart home technology integration presents similar challenges, as these systems require a stable electrical infrastructure to function reliably.
