    🎙️ Why Can Old Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Wiring Can Cost You?

    🎙️ Podcast Episode: Why Old Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Wiring Can Cost You! If your home was built before the 1970s, this episode could save you thousands of dollars — and possibly prevent a serious fire risk. Host Jim Klauck from Check A Pro sits down with master electrician Kevin Lipps of Lipps Electric in Cincinnati, Ohio, to break down the hidden dangers and financial consequences of outdated electrical systems. ⚡ In this episode, you’ll learn: What knob-and-tube wiring really is — and why insurance companies hate it The truth about aluminum wiring in 1960s–70s homes Why these systems can increase fire risk How outdated wiring impacts your home’s resale value What repairs or upgrades actually cost When a full rewire is necessary — and when it’s not Many older homes still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that may be technically legal, but insurance companies often refuse coverage or charge much higher premiums once they learn about it—especially as home inspectors increasingly disclose these issues. Upgrading electrical service (commonly to 200 amps today) typically requires a new panel, breakers, and updated wiring; this is important for safety and for securing affordable insurance, since some homes still have 100 amps or less. Kevin explains how these older systems were installed, why they were acceptable at the time, and what changes in electrical code and safety standards now mean for homeowners. If you’re buying, selling, remodeling, or insuring a home, this is critical information. 💡 Don’t wait until your insurance company forces your hand — or worse, until you smell smoke. Listen now and protect your home, your family, and your investment. 📍 Featuring: Kevin Lipps – Lipps Electric, Cincinnati, Ohio Hosted by Jim Klauck – Check A Pro 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast app or at CheckAPro.com For The Full Episode of the Podcast -   https://www.lippselectricpodcast.com   For More Information visit Lipps Electric at https://ronlippselectric.com or call us at (513) 655-2536. #CheckAPro #JimKlauck #LippsElectric #HomeSafety #ElectricalSafety #KnobAndTube #AluminumWiring #CincinnatiHomes #HomeImprovement #FirePrevention

    💡 Is My Home Wiring Is Aluminum or Copper?

    Is My Home Wiring Is Aluminum or Copper? This episode explains how to identify whether your electrical wiring is aluminum or copper by simple visual clues: aluminum wiring appears silver, while copper has a reddish tone. It also covers how newer Romex cables use colored jackets (yellow, pink, orange, white) to indicate size and age, so if you don’t see these colors on the wires entering your panel, your wiring is likely older. 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast app or at CheckAPro.com For The Full Episode of the Podcast -   https://www.lippselectricpodcast.com   For More Information visit Lipps Electric at https://ronlippselectric.com or call us at (513) 655-2536. #CheckAProRadioShow #JimKlauck #LippsElectric #KevinLipps #ElectricalPanel #ElectricalSafety #HomeSafety #ElectricalCode #CircuitBreaker #FirePrevention #HomeInspection #ElectricalUpgrade #Homeowners #SafetyFirst #ElectricalExperts #PanelUpgrade #CodeCompliance #HomeProtection #ElectricalHazards #PowerSafety ⚡🔥🎧

    🎙️ “Are AC and Lights on the Same Circuit? Here’s Why That’s a Problem!”

    🎙️ “Are AC and Lights on the Same Circuit? Here’s Why That’s a Problem!” This episode explains why an air conditioner and lights should not share the same circuit and how that can cause issues. It describes how breakers in a panel alternate between two legs (odd slots on one leg, even slots on the other), creating the split 120/240V arrangement that determines which loads share a leg. As a practical fix, the host suggests checking breaker positions and, when safe and appropriate, flipping or rearranging breakers to move loads onto separate legs to avoid overloads and resolve problems. 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast app or at CheckAPro.com For The Full Episode of the Podcast -   https://www.lippselectricpodcast.com   For More Information visit Lipps Electric at https://ronlippselectric.com or call us at (513) 655-2536.   #LippsElectric #CincinnatiElectrician #ElectricalServices #CoreValues #HonestyAndIntegrity #SafetyFirst #CustomerService #LocalBusiness #TrustedPros #ElectricalRepair #ElectricalUpgrade #LippsElectric #KevinLipps #ElectricalSafety #CincinnatiElectrician #HomeSafety #PreventElectricalFires #LicensedElectrician #ElectricalHazards #CheckAProCertified #HomeMaintenanceTips #ElectricalInspection #ElectricalSafety #HiddenWiringDangers #HomeMaintenance #LicensedElectrician #ElectricalInspection #FirePrevention #HomeSafetyTips #CheckAProRadio #SafeHome #HomeImprovement #ElectricalSafety #HomeSafety #OverloadedOutlets #CircuitBreaker #PreventFires #CheckAPro #HomeTips #LicensedElectrician #SmartHome

    ⚠️ Why Your Lights Dim When the AC Kicks On?

    Why Your Lights Dim When the AC Kicks On? On this episode Kevin Lipps of Lipps Electric and Jim Klauck from Check A Pro explain why lights can dim when an air conditioner starts — a large startup (inrush) current can briefly drop voltage, usually causing a short, mild dim. They discuss when dimming is normal and when it may indicate a deeper electrical issue. Topics include shared circuits, loose or corroded wiring, aging panels and overloaded service, plus practical solutions like rearranging breakers, wiring repairs, or upgrading the panel/service. The hosts emphasize professional diagnosis and budget-based options.

    🎙️ Is Your Home a Wiring Time Bomb? What to Check If Your House Is 30+ Years Old.

    🎙️ “Is Your Home a Wiring Time Bomb? What to Check If Your House Is 30+ Years Old.” If your home is older than 30 years, have the electrical system inspected — and if it hasn’t been rewired, consider doing so. Homes built before the 1980s may still have aluminum wiring, which can be a safety concern. Even older houses (mid-20th century and earlier) might have knob-and-tube wiring, so get a professional check to determine whether updates or rewiring are needed. 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast app or at CheckAPro.com For The Full Episode of the Podcast -   https://www.lippselectricpodcast.com   For More Information visit Lipps Electric at https://ronlippselectric.com or call us at (513) 655-2536.   #LippsElectric #CincinnatiElectrician #ElectricalServices #CoreValues #HonestyAndIntegrity #SafetyFirst #CustomerService #LocalBusiness #TrustedPros #ElectricalRepair #ElectricalUpgrade #LippsElectric #KevinLipps #ElectricalSafety #CincinnatiElectrician #HomeSafety #PreventElectricalFires #LicensedElectrician #ElectricalHazards #CheckAProCertified #HomeMaintenanceTips #ElectricalInspection #ElectricalSafety #HiddenWiringDangers #HomeMaintenance #LicensedElectrician #ElectricalInspection #FirePrevention #HomeSafetyTips #CheckAProRadio #SafeHome #HomeImprovement #ElectricalSafety #HomeSafety #OverloadedOutlets #CircuitBreaker #PreventFires #CheckAPro #HomeTips #LicensedElectrician #SmartHome
