Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during an electrical inspection with D Smith Electric?
Our inspections are thorough and methodical. We examine your home's wiring, panels, and key safety devices like GFCI outlets, providing you with a clear, detailed report. We treat your home as our own, ensuring our work is clean and precise, so you understand the condition of your system and any recommended next steps.
My GFCI outlet keeps tripping. Is this a common issue in Norfolk?
Yes, it's a frequent concern for local homeowners. Norfolk's coastal humidity can accelerate wear on GFCI outlets, causing nuisance tripping or failure. During an inspection, we test these outlets to determine if it's a simple replacement or a sign of a deeper wiring issue, providing a reliable fix that stands up to our local environment.
How do you handle wiring that has been damaged by rodents?
Rodent-damaged wiring is a serious fire hazard. We safely remove the compromised sections and replace them with new, code-compliant wiring. Our work is clean and precise—we secure and route the new wiring neatly to help prevent future access and ensure your system is both safe and visually organized for years to come.
