Regular home electrical inspections will ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and up to current electrical code standards. A home’s electrical system is constantly working and like anything else, it will eventually wear out and fail. Unfortunately, failures in an electrical system can be catastrophic, leading to fire and electrocution hazards.
An electrical inspection of your home should be a priority if your home is older than 15 years, or you are considering the purchase of a new home. This is especially true if the home has any renovations, including a finished basement. Visit our blog to learn the circumstances when you should make a home electrical inspection a priority.
