Q&A

What does an electrical inspection from a Local 163 member involve?

An inspection by a Local 163 electrician is a thorough safety evaluation of your home's electrical system. They check wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding against the current National Electrical Code to identify potential hazards like overloaded circuits or outdated components. For Wilkes-Barre residents, this is especially important given the area's older housing stock. The goal is to provide a clear assessment and recommendations to ensure your system is safe, functional, and up to standard.

Why should I hire a union electrician from IBEW Local 163?

My outdoor outlet got wet during a storm. Can a Local 163 electrician help with water intrusion issues?

Absolutely. Water intrusion in outlets and fixtures is a common concern in our region. A Local 163 electrician can assess the damage, replace any compromised components with weather-resistant devices rated for outdoor or damp locations, and ensure proper grounding is intact. They can also recommend and install preventative measures, such as upgrading to in-use outlet covers or correcting landscaping grading, to protect your home's electrical system from future water-related problems common in the Wilkes-Barre area.
