J B Electric - Chattanooga's Local Electrical Services

Our detailed inspection assesses your entire electrical load, including all circuits and appliances. We identify if your current panel is undersized for modern demands—a common issue in older Chattanooga homes. By evaluating usage patterns and checking for improper wiring, we can recommend solutions like circuit balancing, panel upgrades, or adding dedicated circuits to prevent dangerous overloads and nuisance tripping.

Loose connections often develop over time due to thermal expansion and contraction from normal use, vibration, or initial installation issues. They are a leading cause of electrical fires. During our inspection, we methodically check terminals at outlets, switches, and within your panel for proper tightness and signs of arcing or heat damage. We safely secure any loose connections and replace damaged components to eliminate this hidden hazard.

We focus on the issues we see most often. This includes testing the amperage load on each circuit in your panel to catch overloads, performing thermal imaging to spot hot spots from loose connections, and checking for double-tapped breakers or outdated wiring like aluminum that can contribute to these problems. Our goal is to give you a clear, actionable report on the health of your system specific to our region's housing stock and electrical demands.
