Do I need an electrical inspection?
According to data from the National Fire Protection Association, about 50,000 home fires occur annually due to electrical issues.
Aside from this, any damaged or exposed wiring can lead to electrocution or, in more dire circumstances, even death.
Furthermore, inadequate home wiring can lead to costly appliance damage or destruction - something that can be detected, repaired or replaced following the results of an electrical inspection.
How an electrician can help
There are several things that an electrician will analyze and determine when conducting a home electrical inspection, many of which may cause a consumer to reconsider their offer on a home if the repair is too extreme.
These include:
* What type of wiring the home has.
* If the outlets in your home need to be replaced.
* Ensuring proper installation and operation of GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupters) in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas. GFCIs help prevent electrocution, burns, and shocks.
* Analysis of the electrical panel to ensure it’s in good working order.
* Ensuring electrical work is up to local code.
* Detection of faulty or damaged wiring that may present a safety risk.
Electricity is not something that you want to mess with, both for your home and your family's sake.
