3 Signs Your Home Needs an Annual Electrical Check-Up

Shocks, power surge damage, and other electrical problems often start out as easily fixable issues that, when neglected, lead to serious problems. 

An annual electrical check-up allows you to nip these smaller issues in the bud—saving you money and keeping your home safe.

Ensure Fire & Carbon Monoxide Safety

Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors keep your home safer by working in concert to alert you to smoke or other dangers in your home.

Protecting from Mechanical Failures

While they’re made to last for 10 years, we’ve seen mechanical failures happen sooner. If your basement detector is bad, it won’t signal your upstairs hallway detector while you sleep.

Yearly inspection of your smoke detectors gives you peace of mind that they will function properly in case of emergency.

Reduce the Risks of Trips & Shocks

GFCI breakers are installed as a safeguard against shocks in wet areas like bathrooms and basements. You’d be surprised how many faulty GFCI’s we find in homes.

Ensuring Proper GFCI Function

There are no obvious signs that a breaker has gone bad, which is why they often go unnoticed. But this puts your family at risk.

During your inspection, we check all your breakers to ensure they’re functioning properly and protecting you from shock.

Protect from Power Surges

An outlet is grounded to divert higher-than-average surges of electricity away from your outlets and appliances directly into the ground. Improperly grounded outlets (a common DIY mistake) puts your home and appliances at risk of fire or damage from power surges.

Checking for Proper Grounding

During inspection, we test every outlet to ensure proper grounding to protect both you and your appliances from minor power surges.
