Q&A
How can an electrical inspection from Ault Electric protect my Tacoma home's appliances from power surges?
Our comprehensive electrical inspections include checking your main service panel and grounding system, which are critical for surge protection. We assess if your home has adequate defense against the power surges common in our area. We can then recommend and install solutions like whole-home surge protectors at the panel, which safeguard all your appliances and electronics—something simple power strips can't do.
Why are outdoor outlets in Tacoma a particular concern, and how does your inspection address them?
Tacoma's rainy climate causes accelerated corrosion and moisture damage in outdoor outlets, leading to rust, short circuits, and a high risk of shock. Our inspection meticulously tests all exterior outlets for proper function and safety. We ensure they are protected by GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) devices, which instantly cut power if moisture is detected, and we recommend upgrading to weatherproof, corrosion-resistant outlet covers for long-term durability.
What specific issues do you look for during a Tacoma home electrical inspection related to local weather?
We focus on hazards exacerbated by our local environment. Beyond outdoor outlet corrosion, we check for moisture intrusion in crawl spaces or attics that can damage wiring, inspect the integrity of your grounding system (vital during storms), and evaluate the condition of older wiring that may be compromised by humidity. Our goal is to find and fix vulnerabilities before they cause damage or become a safety issue.
