Common Questions

Can an electrical inspection help prevent problems during a New Castle storm?

Yes, absolutely. A thorough electrical inspection by Hartman Electric can identify vulnerabilities in your system, such as loose connections, outdated wiring, or a compromised grounding system, that are most likely to fail during heavy winds and rain. Proactively addressing these issues can significantly reduce your risk of a storm-related outage or electrical fire.

My breaker trips often during storms. Is this a sign of an overloaded panel?

Frequent tripping, especially during storms when power fluctuates, is a common warning sign. It often indicates your breaker panel is overloaded or that the breakers themselves are old and sensitive. Our inspection can determine if you need a panel upgrade to safely handle your home's electrical demand and provide more stable power during severe weather.

What does an electrical inspection cover regarding breaker panel safety?

Our inspection provides a complete safety check of your breaker panel. We look for signs of overheating, corrosion, proper labeling, and ensure it's correctly rated for your home's load. We'll check for double-tapped breakers, outdated models like Federal Pacific, and verify that all connections are secure to prevent overloads—a key concern in many older New Castle homes.
