Unless we have issues with the electrical in our home, it is easy to forget about our home’s electrical system, and whether or system being properly maintained. For example, you just bought all brand new kitchen appliances, and CANNOT wait to see them installed! However, checking to make sure the appropriate wire gauge is being used for the circuits was overlooked. A situation such as this can cause property damage and/or even a house fire. This is a safety hazard that would be addressed with our Electrical Home inspection.
Things that often get flagged during an inspection when buying/selling a house are unsafe and outdated panels (Zinsco, Federal Pacific or FPE, Sylvania), and not having GFCI outlets next to water sources.
These protectors offer you peace of mind in case your house incurs a power surge. Power surges are very common and often tend to fry large appliances rendering them unusable. Appliances can be expensive, and a surge protector is easily installed and will save you from having to replace your appliances.
When you schedule an inspection, one of our certified electricians will come out and inspect your home’s electrical system. Using the NEC National Electrical Code as guide, our team will go through and ensure your electrical system is meeting the safety standards outlined across the United States. After our inspection is complete, you will have a detailed report that outlines the corrections that need to be made right away, what can wait, and suggested updates that will improve your electrical system.
