H & A Electric | Professional Electrical Services in Hickory, NC

Our electrical inspections include specialized testing of your home's grounding system. We check for proper connections to grounding rods, the integrity of ground wires, and the functionality of GFCIs. Many older Hickory homes have outdated or deteriorated grounding, which we can pinpoint and correct to prevent shock hazards and protect your appliances.

Water intrusion in outlets is a serious safety issue common in our area. First, turn off the power to that circuit at your breaker panel. Do not use the outlet. Call us for an inspection. We'll assess for corrosion or damage, ensure the outlet is properly sealed and rated for outdoor use (like a WR-rated outlet), and install a weatherproof cover to prevent future problems.

Many charming older homes in Hickory may have outdated wiring, insufficient grounding, or DIY repairs that don't meet current safety codes. Our pre-purchase inspection provides a detailed report on the system's condition, flagging issues like aluminum wiring, overloaded circuits, or moisture damage in crawl spaces. This knowledge helps you negotiate and plan for safe, essential upgrades.
