Benson Jeff Electric: Certified Electrical Contractor Serving Ashland 97520

Absolutely. During an inspection, we specifically assess your home's grounding system, look for outdated or insufficient surge protection, and check the overall integrity of your wiring. In Ashland, where power fluctuations can occur, this helps us identify vulnerabilities before a surge damages expensive appliances like computers or refrigerators. We can then recommend targeted solutions, such as installing whole-house surge protectors.

Loose connections often cause flickering lights, warm or discolored switch plates, or intermittent power in outlets—common issues we see locally. Our detailed electrical inspection involves thermal imaging to detect abnormal heat at connection points and physical testing to ensure all terminals are tight. Finding and securing these connections is vital for preventing potential arcing, which is a leading cause of electrical fires in homes.

Older homes in our area often have wiring that has loosened over decades due to thermal expansion and contraction. A pre-purchase electrical inspection from us goes beyond a basic home inspection. We meticulously check the main panel, outlets, and switches for loose, unsafe connections that are a known local hazard. This gives you peace of mind and can prevent unexpected repair costs or dangerous situations after you move in.
