Blanchet Electric | Top-Rated Electrical Contractor in Glastonbury, CT

An electrical inspection is a proactive safety measure. Our licensed electricians meticulously check for signs of wear in older wiring, such as brittle insulation, outdated materials like knob-and-tube, and overloaded circuits common in aging homes. We identify potential fire hazards and system failures before they cause damage, providing you with a clear report and recommendations to modernize your electrical system for safety and reliability.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is evaluating your home's surge protection. We check if your electrical panel and outlets provide adequate defense against the surges that can travel through Glastonbury's power lines, which are a leading cause of appliance damage. We can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors at the main panel and point-of-use protectors to safeguard sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and kitchen appliances.

We conduct a thorough, neighborly assessment focused on local concerns. This includes testing GFCI and AFCI outlets (crucial for safety in older homes), verifying proper grounding, assessing the capacity of your electrical panel for modern energy use, inspecting for improper DIY repairs, and evaluating the condition of all visible wiring. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health and a practical plan to address any issues we find.
