Electrical Inspections in Avon Park
An electric inspection involves a thorough review of your home’s electrical system. The goal is to ensure the electrical system meets all safety standards and code requirements. This involves several steps, and depending on your home and system, the inspection will likely take two to four hours.
The first step involves a visual inspection. During the inspection, our electricians will check for exposed wiring, damaged outlets, and outdated equipment. We will verify that the electrical panel is fully accessible and labeled properly. The inspection will also involve inspecting outlets, switches, and fixtures for signs of wear and tear, overheating, or loose connections.
The electrical panel is one of the most important components of your home. It controls the flow of electricity to all circuits, giving power to every room. Although electric panels can last up to 40 years, they can become outdated sooner based on changing electric load requirements and codes.
We will verify that there are no signs of corrosion, moisture, burn marks, or melted wiring that could indicate performance or safety issues. Our electricians will also test to make sure each breaker, including the main breaker, works to shut off the circuit. Depending on our findings, we may recommend a panel upgrade, especially if it is old and outdated.
Testing is a critical part of the inspection services. We will test the outlets with a voltage tester and circuit analyzer. Our Avon Park electricians also test the GFCI and AFCI outlets to ensure their proper performance for safety. The final test involves the circuit breakers to ensure correct amperage and secure operation.
Electricians follow the National Electrical Code and Avon Park regulations. We check to ensure your system supports your electrical load safely.
