Common Questions

Why is an electrical inspection important for my ceiling fan in New Orleans?

In our older homes, ceiling fans are often installed in existing junction boxes that may not support the weight or vibration, leading to loose connections and wiring failures. Our inspection checks the box's integrity, wiring security, and grounding to prevent flickering, overheating, or fire hazards common in the area.

Can an electrical inspection protect my home from lightning surge damage?

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection is evaluating your home's surge protection. We check your main panel for a whole-house surge protector and recommend upgrades if needed. This is crucial in New Orleans to shield appliances and electronics from the damaging power surges that accompany our frequent thunderstorms.

What specific issues do you look for during a New Orleans home electrical inspection?

We focus on local risk factors. Beyond general safety, we meticulously check for signs of previous surge damage on outlets and panels, ensure bathroom and kitchen GFCI outlets are functional in our humid climate, and verify that ceiling fan and attic wiring is secure—common trouble spots in historic properties here.
