Our inspections are designed to cover every aspect of your electrical system. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and follow a meticulous process to ensure nothing is overlooked.

1. Initial Consultation and Walkthrough

During our initial visit, we’ll discuss any concerns you may have and perform a walkthrough to identify visible signs of wear, damage, or code violations.

2. Comprehensive System Evaluation

We will then perform a detailed assessment of your electrical panel, circuit breakers, wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding system. We’ll also look at appliances, light fixtures, and other electrical components for signs of deterioration or hazards.

3. Thermal Imaging and Load Testing

Using advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras, we can detect hidden issues such as loose connections, overheating components, and overloaded circuits. We also conduct load testing to verify that your system can safely handle your home’s current power demands.

4. Detailed Report and Recommendations

Once the inspection is complete, we provide a comprehensive report outlining our findings and recommendations. This document will highlight areas that need attention and offer solutions, whether it’s minor repairs, major upgrades, or simple maintenance.

5. Follow-Up and Support

Our commitment doesn’t end with the inspection. We offer a follow-up service to help implement any necessary changes, ensuring that your home remains safe and efficient. If you decide to move forward with upgrades, we provide a detailed quote and timeline for the work.

Common Issues Our Electrical Safety Inspections Uncover

Many electrical issues can go unnoticed until they become a major problem. Here are some of the common issues our inspections often reveal:

• Outdated or Damaged Wiring: Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, often found in older homes, poses a significant safety risk.
• Overloaded Circuits: These can lead to overheating and increase the chance of electrical fires.
• Faulty Grounding Systems: A poor grounding system puts your home and family at risk of electric shocks.
• Improperly Installed Electrical Components: Incorrectly installed wiring, outlets, or switches can create dangerous situations.
• Worn or Broken Outlets and Switches: These can spark or fail unexpectedly, posing a fire hazard.

If you suspect that your home may have one of these issues, it’s essential to schedule an inspection immediately.
