Licensed Electricians in Reading, PA 19605 - Basmol Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspections specifically test all GFCI outlets in your Reading home for proper function and tripping speed. We check for correct installation, moisture exposure (a common cause of failure), and wiring issues. Identifying a weak or failing GFCI during an inspection allows us to replace it before it stops protecting you from shocks, especially in crucial areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

In Reading homes, panel overheating is often caused by outdated panels, loose connections, or circuit overloads from modern appliances. Our electrical inspection includes a thermal scan of your panel to detect hot spots invisible to the naked eye. We'll identify the specific cause—whether it's a faulty breaker, corrosion, or overloaded circuits—and provide a clear plan to resolve it and prevent a potential fire hazard.

For Reading's many historic and older homes, our inspection goes beyond basics. We thoroughly examine the condition of aging wiring (like knob-and-tube or aluminum), ensure your grounding system is adequate, verify your panel's capacity for today's electrical loads, and test all safety devices. We provide a detailed report on any issues that are urgent versus recommended, helping you prioritize upgrades for safety and efficiency.
