Questions and Answers

How can a routine electrical inspection from Hanshaw Electric protect my Dayton home's appliances from power surges?

A comprehensive electrical inspection by our certified electricians checks for critical vulnerabilities like outdated wiring, insufficient grounding, and overloaded circuits—all common culprits behind damaging power surges in Dayton homes. We identify these risks before they can harm your refrigerator, HVAC system, or electronics and recommend solutions such as whole-house surge protectors or panel upgrades to provide robust protection.

I'm worried about loose connections causing a fire. What does your electrical inspection specifically check for?

Safety is our top priority. During an inspection, we meticulously examine all accessible connections in your electrical panel, outlets, and switches for signs of looseness, corrosion, or overheating. Loose connections are a frequent issue we find in older Dayton homes, and they can lead to arcing and excessive heat. We'll tighten connections, replace faulty components, and ensure everything is up to current safety codes to significantly reduce your fire risk.

As a Dayton homeowner, how often should I schedule an electrical inspection?

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for most homes, or immediately if you're experiencing flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or have added major new appliances. Given our area's aging housing stock and issues like loose wiring, proactive inspections are a smart, preventative measure. They give you peace of mind and can catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs or safety hazards.
