Who Needs Electrical Inspections?
When buying or selling a house in Lakeland, obtain an electrical inspection to verify that the wiring is safe and up-to-date. We recommend scheduling an inspection at least once every few years. This practice provides peace of mind and enables our electricians to identify issues before they turn into safety hazards.
If you remodel your home or build a new addition, you must schedule an inspection. This process ensures that you make the necessary adjustments to your wiring system and comply with local building codes. Additionally, old houses often require inspections due to their outdated equipment.
When your electrical system behaves unusually, schedule an inspection immediately. We will dispatch a licensed inspector to thoroughly examine all elements of your system, including outlets, wiring, switches, appliances, and the electrical panel.
These signs indicate that you need an electrical inspection:
- Flickering lights
- Discolored outlets
- Burning odors
- Crackling or buzzing sounds
- Electrical shocks
- High energy bills
- Outdated equipment
Most households experience occasional flickers in their lights. If your lights dim when you turn on an appliance or flicker unusually often, call Top Flight Electric for an electrical inspection. You may have an outdated or undersized electrical system that cannot meet demand, which could result in a sudden overload.
Warm outlets, switches, or electrical panels indicate overheating and require immediate attention. If you notice strange odors or noises, your electrical system may be at risk of catching fire—contact a professional right away. Depending on the age of your house, our electricians will recommend necessary repairs or may advise a complete system overhaul.
During your appointment, our electricians examine your house for safety hazards. Many houses exhibit frayed or exposed wiring, which demands immediate attention. These wires can spark a fire, electrocute residents, or hinder the functionality of appliances.
Our Lakeland electricians check your outlets. If you have multiple extension cords or power strips in your home, they will likely recommend installing additional outlets. Extension cords can easily lead to drawing excessive power from the circuit, which can overheat your system. Additionally, if we discover loose or discolored outlets, you will probably need to install a new set altogether.
