Why Electrical Inspections Are Important
While the average homeowner may only consider an electrical inspection when buying or selling a home, there are several crucial times when an assessment is essential for maintaining safety and functionality. Ignoring the age or usage patterns of your electrical system can lead to inefficient power use, appliance damage, and even fire hazards. Our goal is to proactively help you identify and resolve these issues before they become emergencies.
Here are the key times when an electrical inspection is strongly recommended:
- Buying or selling a home: Provides buyers with a clear picture of the system's condition and gives sellers documentation to negotiate with confidence, especially for properties over 40 years old.
- Major appliance installation: When adding high-draw appliances like hot tubs, electric vehicle chargers, or significant shop equipment, an inspection confirms your existing panel and circuits can safely handle the new load.
- Significant renovation or addition: Any time you alter the layout or significantly change the use of an area, an inspection makes sure new wiring meets current safety codes and integrates correctly with the original system.
- When your home is over 40 years old: Older homes in Waukesha, Lake Mills, and surrounding areas often have outdated systems like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that require professional assessment for safety and insurance purposes.
- Post-disaster assessment: After a lightning strike, flood, or fire, an inspection is necessary to check for hidden damage to wiring and components that may compromise future safety.
Don't guess about the safety of your power supply. Our licensed and insured professionals at Carew Heating & AC provide the objective, detailed information you need to move forward with confidence, whether you are planning a repair or purchasing a new property.
What to Expect During a Professional Electrical Inspection
A true professional inspection goes far beyond a visual check of your outlets and lights. Our highly trained craftsmen systematically test and evaluate the entire electrical infrastructure of your home to make sure every component is functioning safely and efficiently. We follow a step-by-step process to identify hazards, evaluate performance, and provide guidance for improvements.
Our detailed inspection service includes the following critical checks:
- Panel and breaker evaluation: We examine your electrical panel for corrosion, loose connections, and overload risks.
- Wiring assessment: All visible wiring is inspected for signs of wear, damage, or code violations.
- Outlet and switch testing: We test each outlet and switch for proper grounding, voltage, and safe operation.
- Safety device checks: Smoke detectors, GFCIs, and AFCIs are inspected and tested to confirm functionality.
- Load analysis: We review your home’s circuits to determine if your current setup meets modern electrical demands.
This detailed and thorough assessment provides you with the information required to prioritize any necessary repairs or upgrades, giving you complete clarity on the safety of your property in Oconomowoc, Sun Prairie, and beyond.
