Questions and Answers

How can an electrical inspection prevent my meter from overheating in Albuquerque?

An inspection by Great Western assesses the entire load on your system. We check for outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper connections that are common causes of meter overheating in Albuquerque homes. We then provide solutions to redistribute the load or upgrade components, preventing dangerous overheating and potential fire hazards.

What does your inspection check for regarding improper grounding, a common issue here?

Our Albuquerque-specific inspection includes a detailed evaluation of your grounding electrode system, including rods, clamps, and conductor integrity. We test for proper resistance and ensure all critical points, like your main panel and major appliances, are correctly bonded. This identifies and fixes the improper grounding that can lead to shock risks and damage to electronics.

Why is a professional electrical inspection important before buying an older Albuquerque home?

Many older Albuquerque homes have electrical systems not designed for today's power demands, making issues like inadequate grounding and potential for meter overload more likely. Our inspection provides a clear report on the system's condition and safety, highlighting any urgent repairs needed. This knowledge protects your investment and ensures your family's safety from the moment you move in.
