When to Schedule an Electrical Inspection
An electrical inspection is not just for an emergency. It is a proactive service that can prevent future problems and ensure the safety of your property. You should consider a professional inspection if:
You're Buying or Selling a Home: An electrical inspection is a crucial part of the homebuying process. For buyers, it can reveal hidden issues that could be costly to fix. For sellers, it can identify and allow you to fix problems upfront, streamlining the sale process.
Your Home is Over 40 Years Old: Electrical standards and technology have changed significantly. Older homes may have outdated wiring (like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring), undersized panels, or ungrounded outlets that are a safety hazard and unable to handle modern electrical loads.
You're Adding a Major Appliance or System: Before installing a new appliance, such as a hot tub, central air conditioner, or an electric car charging station, it's essential to ensure your electrical system has the capacity to handle the increased demand.
You're Planning a Major Renovation: A remodel or addition is the perfect time to have your electrical system inspected and upgraded. Our team can ensure the new electrical work is up to code and safely integrated into your existing system.
You Notice Common Electrical Issues: Frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, or a buzzing sound from your electrical panel are all signs of a potential problem that warrants a professional inspection.
Your Property Has Un-grounded Outlets: Ungrounded two-prong outlets are a safety hazard and a sign of an outdated electrical system. An inspection can assess the extent of the issue and recommend a solution.
