There is no requirement to replace old wiring unless new changes are being done to an old circuit that does not meet current code, in this case all the old wiring in that circuit must be replaced.
It is entirely up to you if you want to replace old wiring or leave it as is (even if it looks unsafe) when no new changes are being made to the old circuit (e.g. you open a wall to do Plumbing work and find antique "knob and tube" wiring with insulation problems - you do NOT need to replace any of this old wiring if you did not change its circuit in any way).
Many houses in this area have unsafe 2 prong outlets installed in the 1950s that were designed for use interchangeably on 115V 15A and 230V 8A circuits, but their design allows 115V 15A, 115V 20A, or 230V 8A plugs to be inserted without the user knowing they are plugging into an incorrect circuit. But unless something else is changed on a circuit containing these unsafe outlets they may all be left as they are, but every one of these unsafe outlets on the circuit must be replaced with safe 2 prong if anything is changed (3 prong if the circuit is upgraded to 3 wire grounded wiring).
About the only thing that could force rewiring the entire building is replacing an old screw in fuse box with a modern breaker box, as this changed to feed end for all circuits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If the wiring has rubber insulation for the conductors you should definitely replace it with modern pvc-based wiring. To protect your electrical outlets and appliances - and also for safety reasons - you should also upgrade the breaker box. If you have old wires which are made of copper that has pvc-based insulation you can leave them as they are but only if they are still in good condition. If the wires are made of aluminum or if they don't look safe - for instance if the insulation is damaged - you should replace them immediately.
Answer
Old wiring may be safe if left alone, not overloaded or abused, and was originally "up to code". However, old rubber insulation with cloth coverings can become brittle and literally turn to dust if jiggled. This often occurs in overhead lighting outlets where heat from lights has dried and damaged the insulation. These old installations must be replaced if they are to be touched in any serious way (e.g., undoing clamps or other fasteners), otherwise they become unsafe. In other words, you should not simply pull out the old fixtures and devices and install new ones; you will need new wiring, and if you're getting new wiring, you should (must) get new circuit breakers.
You can expect your main electrical panel and meter to last 30 to 40 years before they start to need to be replaced. The wiring in the wall can last a bit longer but when it gets to be 50 to 60 years old you're better off replacing it if you can.
Answer
In the late 1940s a type of cable called "Romex" was introduced in the United States, using PVC insulation for the individual copper conductors with a paper wrap and braided fabric overwrap. It is usually black or silver in color. This type of wiring is still safe today, although early Romex cables didn't contain a third earth ground wire, as required by current electrical codes. Houses with this type of wiring usually have outlets with just two slots, lacking the third hole for 3-prong plugs, although sometimes homeowners have replaced the outlets with the 3-prong type in violation of the National Electric Code (NEC). Current Romex cables have a third copper conductor that connects to earth ground and the outer jacket is molded PVC plastic instead of braided fabric.
Take a look at your fuse box or breaker box. If it still contains the old screw-in fuses, chances are that the wiring in the house is outdated and should all be upgraded to modern Romex or "NM" type cable.
The life span of the wiring in a typical house is between 60 to 80 years. The main electric service should be replaced about every 30 to 40 years.
lol you take all the old cable out of the wall and replace it with new nm cable. It requires each wall to be tore out. Why would you want to replace all the wiring unless you were remodeling the whole apartment. Some of the old wiring if not too old is better than the new nm cable. Just convert your fuse bus panel to a breaker service and your set.
If you mean a pump wiring diagram, it depends what kind of pump you have, submersible or Jetpump. Both are very simple wiring and don't need a diagram. Both should be installed by a qualified well technician.
Install an AFCI breaker on the circuit with the outlets you replace and you will be fine.
Cleat wiring is exposed while in conduit wiring the wires are well protected inside tubes/pipes.
Yes.
The electrical inspector will make this decision as to what circuits should be replaced.
The life span of the wiring in a typical house is between 60 to 80 years. The main electric service should be replaced about every 30 to 40 years.
Yes but only from a similar year
US NEC: You must provide a box to join the old and new wiring together. Also, when making modifications to old wiring, you must upgrade the old wiring as needed to meet current code.
YES, the pads should have been replaced at the same time you replaced the rotors.
If the old unit was a 10 SEER or less. If the old indoor coil has an expansion valve you should be fine but if it has an orifice type metering device then it should be replaced
The question is, why is a new air conditioner being put in? If the old air conditioner was only a few years old but was simply too small, the answer is probably not unless the old line is inadequate for the power. If the old air conditioner was a number of years old and wore out, then there is the question of the quality of the line. Wiring wears out. Insulation wears out. If the wiring or insulation shows any sign of wearing out, then by all means, replace it. It is far less expensive to replace it when you are putting in the new unit than to have an electrician come in and replace it at a later date. If it has aluminum wiring, replace it yesterday.
They can be of they are old or have been abraded. If they are they should be replaced with new cords.
The belt is getting old and brittle and should be replaced soon.
Have the dealer inspect it and see what needs to be replaced. They need to determine if it is the ductwork, insulation, piping or wiring. If the cost exceeds $400 you should think about replacing the old one completley. Either way have the dealer inspect your old one and they can help you find a new one and to install it as well.
the old wiring is probly shot cause its an old truck. you should bring it to a mechanic to get it fixed
