Many older homes in Kildare, Meath, and Dublin were built during a time when electrical usage was minimal. Today’s modern lifestyle, filled with smart devices, kitchen appliances, and home tech, puts a much greater demand on your system.
Watch out for these warning signs:
-
Old-style fuse boards – Ceramic fuses were common decades ago but don’t offer the safety protections of modern consumer units.
-
Extension cord overload – If you’re constantly using multi-plug adapters, it’s likely your home doesn’t have enough sockets for safe usage.
-
Outdated wiring – Homes with rubber or cloth-insulated wiring are at risk of cracked, exposed cables that could cause shorts or fires.
Why it matters
Old or faulty wiring is one of the most common causes of house fires in Ireland. Even if you haven’t noticed any problems, hidden issues could be putting your home and family at risk.
