Frequently Asked Questions
Can an electrical inspection identify aluminum wiring hazards in my Highland home?
Absolutely. Our electrical inspections specifically check for the presence and condition of aluminum wiring, which is common in many older Highland homes. We look for signs of overheating, loose connections at outlets and switches, and improper terminations that are fire hazards, providing a detailed report and recommended solutions.
My electrical meter feels hot. Is this a problem you can check during an inspection?
Yes, a hot electrical meter is a serious safety concern we address immediately. During our inspection, we will check the meter base, service panel connections, and overall load to determine the cause of the overheating, which is often linked to faulty aluminum wiring connections or an overloaded circuit, and recommend the necessary repairs.
What happens after your inspection finds a problem with my aluminum wiring?
We provide a clear, prioritized report outlining the issues found. For aluminum wiring hazards, we explain the repair options, which may include installing specialized connectors (Al/Cu rated) at all termination points or recommending a partial or full rewiring with modern copper. Our goal is to give you the information needed to make an informed, safe decision for your home.
