JCM Electrical Contractor | Licensed Electrical Contractor in New Bedford, MA

Our electrical inspection includes a detailed check of your home's grounding system. We test outlets and the main service panel to ensure a proper connection to the earth, which is crucial for safety in older New Bedford homes. We look for signs like frequent breaker trips or tingling sensations from appliances, which often point to grounding issues that need immediate correction to prevent shock hazards.

Ceiling fan failures here are often due to outdated wiring, loose connections in the ceiling box, or an overloaded circuit. Our inspection involves checking the fan's specific wiring, the wall switch, and the circuit capacity. We'll identify if the wiring is insufficient for the fan's load or if there's a faulty connection causing intermittent operation, then provide a safe, permanent fix.

Beyond standard checks, we specifically look for common local problems like aluminum wiring (common in certain older homes), outdated knob-and-tube wiring, improper grounding at exterior fixtures (vulnerable to our coastal weather), and overloaded circuits from added appliances. Our goal is to find the hidden issues that are typical in our area's housing stock before they become emergencies.
