Mancini Electric

Did you know that the word “electricity” is derived from the ancient Greek and Latin words meaning “resembling amber?” That is because, when it was discovered that electricity could be intentionally produced, it was done by rubbing pieces of amber together.

There are a couple of old wiring configurations that should be updated as soon as possible. These include the presence of two-pronged ungrounded outlets throughout the house or a lack of ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets in kitchens and bathrooms.

If your home has recently suffered severe interior water damage from a flood or water leak, it’s important to have the wiring checked in the affected areas. Even if everything appears to be in proper working order, an electrician can tell you if there’s any underlying damage.
