Trusted HVAC, Electrical & Plumbing Services in West Middlesex | Burkes Heating and Cooling

Our comprehensive electrical inspections check for vulnerabilities that severe weather can exploit. We look for loose connections, outdated components, and improper grounding that are common culprits of storm-related outages. By identifying and securing these points proactively, we help fortify your home's electrical system, reducing the risk of outages and potential damage from power surges common in our area.

While focusing on pipes and water flow, our plumbing inspectors also check for critical cross-connections with your electrical system. We ensure areas like your water heater, sump pump, and garbage disposal are properly connected and grounded. Faulty plumbing installations near electrical sources can create shock hazards, especially during flooding or if a leak develops. Our dual expertise ensures your home's major systems work together safely.

Loose connections often develop over time due to the natural expansion and contraction of wires with temperature changes, which are significant in Western PA. They can also result from initial improper installation. During our inspection, we use thermal imaging and physical testing to detect hotspots and resistance at connection points in your panel and outlets—issues you can't see. Catching these early prevents arcing, which is a major fire risk and cause of intermittent power problems.
