J R and Sons - Chalfont's Professional Electrical Company

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed assessment of your main electrical panel. We check for signs of overheating, such as discolored wires or a burning smell, which are common issues in our area. We'll test the load on your circuits, ensure connections are tight and corrosion-free, and verify the panel is properly rated for your home's electrical demands. Identifying and fixing these problems early can prevent dangerous failures and potential fire hazards.

Yes, flickering lights are a frequent symptom of improper grounding, a problem we see often in Chalfont. Faulty grounding can cause unstable voltage and pose a shock risk. During our inspection, we will test your home's grounding system, including rods and connections, to ensure it safely directs excess electricity into the earth. We can correct any deficiencies, which typically resolves the flickering and, more importantly, significantly enhances the safety of your entire electrical system.

For older homes, we pay special attention to the age and type of wiring (like knob-and-tube or old aluminum wiring), the condition and location of the grounding rod, and the integrity of all connections to water pipes and other electrodes. We check if previous updates were done correctly, as piecemeal work can lead to an incomplete grounding path. Our goal is to ensure your home has a single, low-resistance path to ground that meets current National Electrical Code standards, protecting you and your appliances.
