Why You Need an Electrical Inspection

Keeping your home or business safe means staying on top of electrical maintenance. Regular inspections help you catch potential issues before they become big (and expensive) problems. Here’s why electrical inspections matter and what you should look out for.

Why You Need Electrical Inspections Electrical systems naturally wear out over time. Wires fray, connections loosen, and circuits can overload. Routine inspections make sure everything is in working order and help you avoid hazards like electrical fires. Whether you own a home or manage a commercial space, staying proactive can save you from major headaches down the line.

What Needs to Be Inspected

Wiring: Look for damaged, frayed, or outdated wiring that can cause short circuits or fires.
Panels and Breakers: Make sure circuit breakers aren’t constantly tripping and that panels are up to code.
Outlets and Switches: Check for overheating, discoloration, or loose connections.
Grounding: Ensure your system is properly grounded to prevent shock risks.
Lighting: Inspect fixtures and wiring for damage or signs of wear.

Electrical Safety

Replace or repair loose or frayed cords on all electrical devices.
Avoid running extension cords across doorways or under carpets.
In homes with small children, electrical outlets should have plastic safety covers.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for plugging an appliance into a receptacle outlet.
Avoid overloading outlets. Consider plugging only one high-wattage appliance into each receptacle outlet at a time.
If outlets or switches feel warm, shut off the circuit and have them checked by an electrician.
When possible, avoid the use of "cube taps" and other devices that allow the connection of multiple appliances into a single receptacle.
Place lamps on level surfaces, away from things that can burn and use bulbs that match the lamp's recommended wattage.

Why Choose a Professional Maintenance Plan?

Each day, hundreds of homes in the US will catch fire due to faulty electrical circuitry. Older homes pose an even greater risk! According to the US census bureau, half the homes in the United States were built before 1973.
