Electricians Wilmington NC | Call Coates Electric of Wilmington

Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection by Coates Electric is designed to check your home's entire grounding system. We'll test outlets, inspect the main service panel grounding, and ensure all connections meet current safety codes. This is a critical service for Wilmington homes, especially older ones, to prevent electrical shocks and protect your appliances from power surges.

A warm or hot electrical panel is a serious warning sign of potential overheating, a common issue we address. Our inspection involves checking for overloaded circuits, loose connections, and evaluating if your panel's capacity meets your home's modern electrical demands. We can diagnose the root cause and recommend solutions, such as panel repair or a necessary upgrade, to prevent a hazardous situation.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for routine safety, or before purchasing an older home. You should also schedule one if you're adding major appliances, notice flickering lights, or have experienced any electrical issues. Given our local climate and the age of many homes here, proactive inspections are the best way to catch problems like faulty grounding or an overworked panel before they become emergencies.
