What We Look for During Our Safety Assessments

During our safety inspections, we focus on identifying potential hazards before they become serious problems. This typically involves assessing key features and fixtures in your home for flaws, wear-and-tear damage, and common malfunctions.

Our home electrical safety experts will check for: 

• Wiring integrity: We examine all visible and accessible wiring to see if it's in good condition or if there are signs of wear, damage, or improper installation.
• Electrical panels: We inspect your electrical panels for signs of corrosion, overheating, or outdated components and check that they meet current safety standards.
• Outlets and switches: Every outlet and switch is tested to confirm that they function correctly and are not loose, damaged, or pose a risk of electric shock.
• Grounding systems: We check that your home’s grounding system is installed correctly and maintained, reducing the risk of electrical surges and shocks.
• Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs): We verify that AFCIs are correctly installed and functioning to help prevent electrical fires by interrupting power when a dangerous arc fault is detected.
• Smoke and CO detectors: We check that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed correctly, in working order, and compliant with the latest safety regulations.
• Surge protection: We assess the adequacy of your surge protection systems to safeguard your home and appliances from power surges.

We can help you access all the electrical functions you need safely and without wasting energy by addressing these key areas.

How Often Should You Get Your Electrical System Inspected?

As a general guideline, we recommend having your electrical system inspected every three to five years. However, certain situations may require more frequent inspections. If you live in an older home with an aging electrical system, have recently undergone significant renovations, or have added new appliances, you could benefit from an inspection outside of your usual schedule. Additionally, warning signs like flickering lights, tripped circuit breakers, or outlets that are warm to the touch should prompt an immediate inspection. 

What to Do with the Results of Your Safety Inspection

First, carefully review the report provided by our inspection team. The report will highlight any issues found during the inspection and recommend repairs, replacements, or upgrades. It's important to understand what each recommendation means for the safety and functionality of your home’s electrical system. If any terms or suggestions seem confusing, don’t hesitate to ask us for clarification. We’re here to educate you and help you make informed decisions.

Next, prioritize the findings based on urgency. Immediate hazards, such as exposed wiring or faulty circuit breakers, should be addressed immediately. You can develop a plan to address less critical issues over time. This might include setting a timeline and budget for completing the necessary repairs or upgrades. Remember, regular maintenance and prompt attention to any identified issues can help prevent larger, costlier problems further down the line.
