B&S Electrical: Professional Electrical Contractor Serving Allentown 18103

Frequent GFCI trips are common here, often caused by moisture in older Allentown home foundations, aging outlets, or hidden wiring faults in damp areas like kitchens and basements. Our electrical inspection specifically tests these safety devices, traces the circuit, and identifies the root cause—whether it's a simple outlet replacement, a ground fault in an appliance, or underlying moisture issues—to provide a lasting fix and restore safe power.

An overheated outlet is a serious warning sign of overloaded circuits or loose connections, which are fire hazards. During our inspection, we use thermal imaging and load testing to detect abnormal heat at outlets and within your panel. We check for loose terminal screws, outdated wiring that can't handle modern loads, and improper DIY work, all common findings in Allentown homes. We then recommend specific repairs, like circuit splitting or outlet replacement, to eliminate the risk.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 5-10 years for older Allentown homes, or before a major renovation or purchasing a new home. Given our local issues with aging wiring and GFCI reliability, more frequent checks can be wise. An inspection is also crucial if you notice any warning signs like warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, or flickering lights. It's a proactive step to ensure safety and prevent costly emergency repairs down the line.
