Electric Technologies - Medford's Licensed Electrical Company

Our inspections specifically check all exterior outlets for signs of moisture damage, corrosion, and proper weatherproofing. We test the grounding and GFCI protection, which is crucial for safety in damp conditions common in our area. If we find early signs of corrosion or inadequate seals, we can repair or replace the outlet with a weather-resistant model to prevent hazardous shorts and future damage.

Often, no. A general home inspection is a visual overview, while our specialized electrical inspection includes testing your electrical panel, checking for proper grounding, and evaluating your existing surge protection. Many older Medford homes lack adequate whole-house surge protectors. We identify this vulnerability and can recommend and install the right protection to shield your expensive electronics and appliances from local grid fluctuations.

First, do not use it. This is a common sign of corrosion or water intrusion. The safest step is to turn off the circuit breaker for that outlet and call a professional. Our electricians can safely diagnose the issue—whether it's a tripped GFCI, internal corrosion, or wiring damage—and perform a lasting repair that meets local codes and stands up to New England weather.
