Common Questions
What does an electrical inspection involve for a Syracuse home?
An electrical inspection is a thorough safety check of your home's wiring, panels, and devices. Barry Passage will examine your system for potential hazards like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or improper installations that are common in older Syracuse homes. This includes checking for code compliance, verifying grounding, and ensuring smoke detectors are properly installed and functional. The goal is to identify any issues that could pose a fire or shock risk, providing you with a clear assessment and recommendations to keep your home safe.
I have an older home. Can you upgrade my knob and tube wiring?
Yes, absolutely. Upgrading from outdated knob and tube wiring to modern, safer Romex (NM-B cable) is a common and important service we provide for Syracuse homeowners. This older wiring, found in many historic homes here, lacks a ground wire and its insulation can become brittle, posing a significant fire risk. Barry will carefully remove the old system and install new, code-compliant wiring throughout your home, improving safety and allowing for the use of modern appliances and devices with greater capacity and peace of mind.
My lights are flickering and I'm worried about rodents or an overheating panel. What should I do?
These are serious warning signs common in our area. Flickering lights can indicate loose connections, often exacerbated by rodents chewing on wires in walls or attics. An overheating electrical panel, which may feel warm or emit a burning smell, is a critical fire hazard often caused by overloaded circuits or faulty breakers. As a Master Licensed electrician for Syracuse, Barry Passage is experienced in diagnosing and resolving these specific local issues. He can safely inspect your panel, trace wiring for damage, and implement repairs or upgrades—like installing rodent-resistant conduit or a new panel—to restore safety and reliability to your home's electrical system. It's important to address these concerns promptly.
