Electrical systems

Electrical systems are integral to the functionality and safety of any home. A thorough inspection ensures that the system is operating efficiently, safely, and in compliance with standards. Faulty or outdated electrical systems can pose significant hazards, such as fire or electrical shock. Below is a detailed checklist of the key components we evaluate during an electrical systems inspection.

Areas Of Inspection

1. Wiring and Outlets

Inspect visible wiring for damage, fraying, or signs of wear. - Test outlets for proper functionality and grounding. - Ensure proper placement of GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in areas prone to moisture (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms).

2. Circuit Breaker Panel

Circuit Breaker Panel: - Check the condition and labelling of the circuit breaker panel. - Test circuit breakers for proper operation and ensure no signs of overheating. - Evaluate the panel's capacity to handle the home's electrical load.

3. Lighting Systems

Inspect indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures for damage or faulty connections. - Test light switches for proper operation. - Ensure all fixtures are properly installed and free of hazards.

4. Electrical Appliances

Verify that appliances are connected and functioning. - Inspect for overloaded power outlets or extension cords. - Check for unusual noises, overheating, or other signs of malfunction.

5. Safety Systems

If installed, verify the presence of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire alarms. Test emergency backup systems (e.g., generators or battery backups) only for basic functionality.

6. Socket-Level Grounding Test:

Using advanced tools, we test grounding at socket outlets to ensure proper wiring and grounding connections are in place. This test identifies potential electrical safety issues to ensure the system is functioning as expected.

7. Electrical Box Inspections

Inspect visible junction boxes for secure covers, no exposed wires, and signs of damage.

8. Energy Efficiency

Evaluate the use of energy-efficient lighting and appliances. - Provide recommendations for upgrades to reduce energy consumption.

9. Outdoor Electrical Systems

Visually inspect exterior outlets, lighting, and wiring for weatherproofing, damage, and signs of wear.

10. General Electrical Safety

Identify visible potential fire hazards, such as overloaded circuits or outdated components, and provide recommendations for professional evaluation.

11. Thermal Imaging

Identify potential electrical hotspots using thermal imaging for early detection of overheating circuits or components.

Disclaimer:All inspections are non-invasive and visual.. Testing is limited to accessible components. Advanced testing or repairs should be performed by a licensed electrician.
