FAQs
An electrical inspection ensures your home’s wiring, panels, and outlets are safe, compliant with electrical codes, and free from hazards like fire risks and power failures.
For safety, it’s recommended to inspect your home’s electrical system every 3-5 years or before buying/selling a property.
A frequently tripping breaker indicates overloading or a fault in wiring. Avoid using multiple high-power appliances on the same circuit and schedule an inspection.
Yes! Exposed wiring can lead to electrical shocks, short circuits, and fires. If you notice exposed wires, turn off the power and call a professional immediately.
Older panels might not handle modern electricity demands, causing overheating, breaker failures, and fire hazards. Upgrading your panel improves safety.
GFCI outlets are required in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and outdoor spaces to prevent shocks. If your home lacks them, it's time for an upgrade.
This could be due to loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or faulty fixtures. A professional inspection can pinpoint the issue.
Yes! Rodents chew through electrical wires, leading to power failures and fire hazards. If you see signs of rodent activity, check your wiring.
No! Extension cords are meant for temporary use. Permanent use can overload circuits and increase fire risks.
Some common warning signs include:
✔ Frequent breaker trips
✔ Flickering or dimming lights
✔ Burning smells or buzzing sounds
✔ Warm outlets or switch plates
This may indicate faulty grounding or a wiring issue. Stop using the appliance and get a professional inspection immediately.
Yes, water causes corrosion and short circuits in electrical systems, increasing electrocution risks.
Regular electrical inspections, proper grounding, replacing faulty wiring, and not overloading circuits can prevent electrical fires.
Press the "Test" button—the power should cut off. Then press "Reset" to restore power. If it doesn’t reset, the outlet may need replacement.
Typically, electrical wiring lasts 30-50 years, but inspections help detect issues early.
An arc fault occurs when electrical currents jump between wires, creating fire hazards. Installing Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) can help prevent fires.
A circuit breaker can be reset, while a fuse must be replaced after a fault.
While it’s possible, it’s safer to hire a professional electrician to ensure proper wiring.
Costs vary depending on home size and issues found, but a small investment ensures long-term safety.
