Q&A
Why is an electrical inspection important for my Athens home, especially with outdoor outlets?
Athens' humidity can cause outdoor outlets to corrode quickly, creating a serious shock or fire hazard. A professional electrical inspection by D & R Electric checks for this corrosion, tests GFCI protection (which is required outdoors), and ensures the wiring is intact and safe, preventing dangerous failures.
My GFCI outlet in the kitchen or bathroom keeps tripping. Is this a common issue in Athens, and can you fix it?
Yes, GFCI outlet failures are very common here due to moisture and age. While they are designed to trip to prevent shock, frequent tripping often signals a faulty outlet or a deeper wiring problem. Our inspection can pinpoint the cause, whether it's a simple replacement or addressing hidden moisture in the circuit, and we'll provide a lasting repair.
What does D & R Electric look for during a standard home electrical inspection?
Our comprehensive inspection focuses on safety and code compliance, paying special attention to local trouble spots. We check for corroded outdoor connections, test all GFCI outlets for proper function, inspect wiring for damage, evaluate your electrical panel's capacity, and ensure smoke detectors are working. Our goal is to give you a clear report on your home's electrical health.
