Allied Electric Force: Experienced Electrical Company Serving Tempe 85283

Our inspection specifically examines all outdoor wiring, conduits, and connections for brittleness, cracking, or discoloration caused by Arizona's intense sun. We assess if UV exposure has compromised the insulation, which can lead to shorts, fires, or power failures, and recommend protective measures or replacements to ensure your outdoor electrical systems are safe and durable.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is checking for the presence of aluminum wiring, common in older Tempe homes. We look for signs of overheating at connections, such as flickering lights or warm outlets, which indicate oxidation—a major fire risk. We'll provide a clear report and options for remediation, like proper pigtailing with copper or a full upgrade.

We recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years for general safety, or before buying/selling a home. Given our local issues with UV degradation and aging aluminum systems, more frequent checks (every 1-2 years) are wise for homes over 30 years old or with significant outdoor electrical components to catch and fix problems early.
