Q&A

Can an electrical inspection in Torrington find why my new ceiling fan causes lights to flicker?

Absolutely. This is a common issue in many Torrington homes. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically checks the circuit your fan is on for proper load capacity, secure connections, and correct wiring at the switch and fixture. Often, flickering indicates an overloaded circuit or a loose neutral wire, which we can safely identify and repair to ensure your fan operates smoothly and safely.

How does an inspection help with smart home devices that keep disconnecting?

Smart home devices like thermostats and doorbell cameras require stable, clean power. In older wiring, voltage fluctuations or poor grounding can cause malfunctions. Our inspection tests your home's electrical foundation—checking voltage levels, ground fault protection, and the condition of your wiring—to pinpoint the interference source. We then recommend solutions, such as adding dedicated circuits or updating your panel, to create a reliable backbone for your smart home technology.

I'm in an older Torrington home. What should I expect from a Marchand Electric inspection?

You can expect a thorough, safety-focused evaluation of your entire electrical system. We go beyond a basic check, paying special attention to common local issues like outdated knob-and-tube wiring remnants, insufficient outlets forcing unsafe use of extension cords, and panels that can't handle modern loads from fans and devices. We provide a clear, written report explaining any issues, their risks, and your repair options, helping you make informed decisions to protect your home.
