Questions and Answers

Why is an electrical inspection important for my Sharon home, especially if it's older?

Many homes in our area, particularly older ones, may have outdated wiring like aluminum or deteriorating connections. A professional inspection by Gillette Electric can uncover hidden hazards like loose wires—a common cause of flickering lights and heat buildup—before they become a serious safety risk. It's a proactive step to protect your home and family.

I've heard about aluminum wiring hazards. What should I look for, and can you help?

Yes, absolutely. Aluminum wiring, common in homes built from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, can loosen at connections over time, creating fire risks. Signs include warm faceplates on outlets, flickering lights, or a burning plastic smell. Our electricians are trained to evaluate aluminum wiring and can perform crucial repairs or recommend safe mitigation strategies, such as COPALUM crimps, to bring your Sharon home up to modern safety standards.

What does your electrical inspection cover for a typical homeowner in Sharon?

Our comprehensive inspection for Sharon residents focuses on your home's unique needs. We meticulously check your main service panel, outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures for loose connections. We identify the type of wiring present, assess the condition of any aluminum wiring, test GFCIs in kitchens and bathrooms, and evaluate overall system capacity and safety. You'll receive a clear report with our expert recommendations for any necessary repairs or updates.
