Questions and Answers

Why are my outlets in Philadelphia getting hot, and how can an electrical inspection help?

Overheated outlets in older Philly homes are often caused by outdated wiring, loose connections, or circuits overloaded with modern appliances. This is a serious fire hazard. Our comprehensive electrical inspection identifies the root cause—whether it's faulty wiring at the outlet, an overloaded circuit, or issues at the breaker panel—and provides a clear, safe plan for repair to restore safety to your home.

I tried a DIY electrical fix that didn't work. Can you inspect and correct it safely?

Absolutely. We frequently correct improper DIY repairs in Philadelphia homes. Our licensed electricians will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the work done, identify any code violations or safety risks (like reversed polarity or overloaded junctions), and professionally correct the installation. Our goal is to ensure your system is not only functional but, most importantly, safe and compliant with Philadelphia electrical codes.

What does a standard electrical inspection cover for a Philadelphia row home?

Our inspection for a typical Philly row home is detailed and includes checking the main service panel for safety and capacity, testing all outlets for proper grounding and wiring, evaluating the condition of visible wiring in basements and attics, assessing light fixtures, and inspecting for any signs of previous DIY work. We provide a prioritized report on any issues found, especially those related to common local problems like overheating, so you know exactly what needs attention.
