Electrical Company Salt Lake City UT | Call Global Control and Electric

Winter freezes in our area can cause water to seep into outdoor outlets, leading to shorts, corrosion, and dangerous shock hazards. A professional electrical inspection from our team will check that all outdoor outlets have proper weatherproof covers (WR-rated) and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. We'll also verify the wiring integrity to ensure moisture hasn't already caused damage that needs immediate repair, keeping your outdoor spaces safe.

Absolutely. Overheated outlets are a serious fire risk often caused by loose wiring connections, outdated components, or circuits overloaded with modern devices. Our detailed inspection involves checking the terminals inside your outlet boxes for tightness and signs of arcing or melting. We'll also assess your overall circuit load to determine if you need dedicated circuits or an outlet upgrade to handle your home's electrical demands safely, a common need in many Salt Lake City homes.

We recommend a safety inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given our local issues with freeze-thaw cycles and overheating, it's also wise to schedule an inspection if you're adding major appliances, notice any flickering lights, warm faceplates, or tripping breakers. Proactive checks help us catch small problems—like a compromised outdoor outlet seal or a loose connection—before they become expensive or hazardous repairs.
