Certified Electricians in Lansdale, PA 19446 - Hettinger Electrical

Our inspection thoroughly checks all exterior outlets, their weatherproof covers (WRs), and the surrounding wiring for signs of moisture damage or improper sealing, which is common in our area. We'll identify the specific points of failure—like cracked covers or degraded caulk—and recommend the necessary repairs or upgrades to prevent dangerous shorts and potential shock hazards.

Absolutely. 'Nuisance tripping' of AFCIs is a frequent issue we address in Lansdale homes. Our inspection goes beyond a simple test; we methodically trace the protected circuit to locate the source of the arc. This is often caused by aging wire insulation, a loose connection in an outlet or switch, or even appliances with motors. We'll find the root cause and fix it to restore reliable power and maintain your home's critical arc fault protection.

Be on the lookout for outlets or switches that feel warm, show discoloration or rust, make a buzzing sound, or simply stop working—especially in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and on exterior walls. If you notice these signs, it's time to call for a professional inspection. We can assess the damage, ensure the circuit is safe, and implement solutions like GFCI protection and proper sealing to protect your home.
