H & M Electric - Marysville's Qualified Electrical Repair

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed check of all GFCI outlets, which are crucial for safety in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. We test them for proper function and trip time, ensuring they will protect you from shock in damp locations. We also examine the overall grounding system to verify it can safely handle any fault currents, which is a frequent concern in older homes.

Absolutely. Improper or outdated grounding is a serious safety hazard that often goes unnoticed. During our inspection, we use specialized equipment to test your home's grounding electrode system and the bonding of all metal components. We can identify if your system is insufficient, which is common with older wiring, and provide a clear solution to bring it up to modern safety standards.

While a single faulty GFCI might just need replacement, persistent tripping can be a symptom of a larger issue, such as a ground fault elsewhere on the circuit or moisture intrusion. We recommend a targeted inspection of the affected circuit. This allows us to pinpoint the root cause—whether it's the outlet itself, the wiring, or an appliance—and fix it correctly the first time, preventing future problems and ensuring your home's safety.
