Description

I show how loose connections can create heat for years without tripping a breaker: https://walt-brennan.netlify.app/ I take you from a 1955 kitchen with a refrigerator, toaster, percolator, radio, and electric clock to that same kitchen packed with a microwave, dishwasher, air fryer, kettle, and disposal. I use that contrast to explain why an old house can run out of electrical capacity—and why a breaker may not be the only warning. In this video, I break down: - How modern appliances changed the demands on old wiring - Why kitchen appliances can consume most of a circuit’s capacity - Five signs an older electrical system may be out of room - Why a loose connection can become dangerous without tripping a working breaker #oldhouse #electricalsafety #homeInspection #electricalwiring
