Houses built in the 60’s or 70’s could have used aluminum wiring which is a fire hazard. Old houses also needed less power using 60 amps to the 200 amp standard today. If you don’t know when your wiring was last checked, hire a licensed electrician.

Prepare for the cost of rewiring. You will spend thousands for labor expenses to cut, rewire, and clean up. Time it when you are remodeling and run all possible wires to anticipate future power needs. Think of getting structured wiring that can support latest technologies and add value to your home.
