Common Questions
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping in my Asheville home, and how can an inspection help?
Arc fault breakers in modern Asheville homes are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs that can cause fires. Frequent trips often point to a specific issue like damaged wire insulation, a loose connection, or a faulty appliance. Our detailed electrical inspection methodically tests circuits and wiring to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's in an outlet, a switch, or within the walls—so we can make a precise, lasting repair and restore safe, uninterrupted power to your home.
I attempted some DIY electrical work and now I'm concerned it's not safe. Can you inspect it?
Absolutely. We frequently help Asheville homeowners who have safety concerns after DIY projects. Our inspection will evaluate the work against the National Electrical Code and local standards. We'll check for proper wire connections, correct breaker sizing, and safe grounding. Our goal isn't to judge but to ensure your home is safe. We'll clearly explain what we find, correct any hazards, and provide you with peace of mind that your electrical system is secure.
What does a standard electrical inspection cover for an older home in Asheville?
For older Asheville homes, our inspection is comprehensive. We check the main service panel for capacity and safety, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets for proper function, inspect wiring for deterioration or unsafe modifications, and evaluate the grounding system. We pay special attention to common issues in older homes like knob-and-tube wiring remnants, overloaded circuits from modern additions, and outdated panels that can't handle today's electrical demands. The result is a clear report on your system's health and any recommended upgrades for safety and reliability.
