Hower Electric: Qualified Electricians Serving Allentown 18104

An electrical inspection by Hower Electric can identify outlets at risk from water intrusion, a common issue in our area due to older construction and seasonal humidity. We check for proper GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection in damp areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, and inspect for signs of corrosion or moisture damage inside outlet boxes. By proactively addressing these issues, we help prevent electrical shorts, shocks, and potential fire hazards.

Many Allentown homes have older wiring that may not be rated for the constant use of modern ceiling fans, or the connections may have loosened over time. During an inspection, we check the fan's electrical box to ensure it's rated for fan support, verify proper wiring connections, and test the switch controls. We often find and correct issues like loose wire nuts, improper grounding, or overloaded circuits, restoring safe and reliable operation.

Our standard electrical inspection for Allentown homeowners focuses on common local safety concerns. We specifically check for signs of water intrusion near outlets, test all GFCI and AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protections, inspect the wiring and mounting of ceiling fans and light fixtures, and evaluate the overall system capacity and grounding. This comprehensive review helps us create a prioritized plan to correct any code violations or potential hazards we find.
