Modernizing Your Manlius Home: The Electrical Safety Guide
Does your older home have enough power for modern life? From GFCI upgrades to smart dimmers, here is what every CNY homeowner needs.
Many homes in the Manlius and Fayetteville villages were built with electrical standards from the 1960s or earlier. While the wiring may be sound, it isn't designed for the load of modern appliances, computers, and EV chargers.
Crucial Electrical Upgrades
- GFCI Outlets: Mandatory for any outlet within 6 feet of water (kitchens, baths, laundry).
- AFCI Protection: Helps prevent fires by detecting electrical arcs in damaged wiring.
- USB Wall Ports: Upgrade your bedside outlets to include high-speed USB-C charging directly in the wall.
