An Electrical Safety Check for homeowners is a licensed, NEC‑guided inspection of your home’s wiring, panel, outlets, and safety devices to spot hazards and code issues before they cause damage. Most issues we find come from aging equipment, past DIY changes, or heavier loads after adding appliances or remodels. It’s especially smart before buying or building, during renovations, after major appliance changes, or in homes 40+ years old. Our electricians perform these checks for local homeowners every day and explain findings in plain language. If we see urgent risks like overheating breakers or burning smells, we recommend immediate repair; otherwise, we prioritize fixes and note items to monitor. SALT+ members receive an Annual Electrical Safety Inspection as part of their plan.
During an inspection, we typically review:
- Panel health and breakers: operation, amperage, labeling, and signs like double‑tapping or modified panels.
- Wiring and devices: proper wiring methods, painted or ungrounded outlets, exposed or taped conductors.
- Protection and life safety: grounding, whole‑home surge protection, and placement/operation of smoke and CO detectors.
If a breaker is hot or you smell burning, turn off that circuit and schedule a licensed electrician immediately.
