You might think more wiring means better electrical service, but in many older homes, being overwired can actually be a safety concern — and a costly headache. Overwiring happens when circuits are added without proper planning, creating tangled wiring, overloaded panels, and even code violations. Let’s unpack what overwiring is, how to spot it, and what you should do about it.
Overwired means your home has more wiring and circuits than necessary, often from multiple renovations or DIY electrical work. Instead of a streamlined, efficient system, circuits overlap, wires run everywhere, and the breaker panel can get overwhelmed.
While you want enough circuits for modern life, too many wires without a plan can be a hidden hazard. Proper inspection and upgrading can protect your home, improve safety, and even save money long-term.
