How much does it cost to hire a licensed electrician?
The cost of our services depends on numerous factors, including the scope of the job and the time required to complete it. However, we use flat-rate pricing instead of hourly billing, so you know the cost upfront before any work begins.
Should I have an electrical system inspected before buying a home?
Absolutely. A professional inspection is the best way to uncover potential electrical issues before you finalize a purchase, so you can determine what kinds of future repairs you may need to make.
How do I know if my home’s electrical system is unsafe?
Some of the biggest warning signs include flickering lights, tripped breakers, warm or sparking outlets, or burning smells. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t attempt to fix it yourself. Get in touch with a licensed professional to check it before it becomes a bigger issue.
What’s included in a home electrical inspection?
A thorough home electrical inspection covers every part of your home’s electrical system, including:
- Electrical Panel: Checking for labeling, proper breaker sizing, secure connections, and signs of corrosion or overheating.
- Wiring: Examining wiring for visible damage, such as fraying or exposed conductors.
- Fixtures & Lighting: Inspecting lighting fixtures for proper installation.
- Outlets & Switches: Testing various outlets throughout the home for grounding, reversed polarity, and overall functionality.
- Safety Devices: Testing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and surge protection.
A licensed electrician will also use this opportunity to ensure your home is up to code and to identify smart ways to upgrade it to mitigate problems down the line.
