Electrical Inspection

Common Electrical Issues Found During Inspections

During an electric system inspection, our licensed electricians often identify several common electrical deficiencies that need to be addressed:

• Open Junction Boxes: Uncovered junction boxes expose wiring, which is a significant safety hazard. We’ll ensure they are properly secured.

• Double-Tapped Breakers: When two wires are connected to a single breaker, it can cause overheating and potential fires. We’ll address this issue to keep your home safe.

• GFCI Protection: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are required in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas to prevent electrical shocks. We install or replace GFCIs to bring your home up to current standards.

• Smoke Alarm Repair/Replacement: Faulty or missing smoke alarms leave your home vulnerable to fire hazards. We’ll repair or replace smoke alarms to ensure full functionality.

Why You Need an Electrical Inspection Before Closing

An electrical wiring inspection is essential when purchasing a new home to identify any potential problems that could lead to costly repairs or safety risks later on. Here’s why it’s important:

• Safety: Electrical issues like outdated wiring or loose connections can pose serious risks. An inspection uncovers hidden problems so they can be addressed before you move in.

• Code Compliance: Electrical codes evolve, and older homes may not meet current requirements. We check the system for compliance and complete necessary repairs to keep everything up to date.

• Cost Savings: Catching electrical issues early prevents future repairs, avoiding unexpected expenses after purchasing the home.
