Q&A

Why does my arc fault breaker in Ephrata keep tripping, and can an inspection help?

Arc fault breakers are sensitive safety devices required in newer homes to prevent electrical fires. In older Ephrata homes, they can trip due to worn wiring, overloaded circuits, or even appliances with motors. Our comprehensive electrical inspection pinpoints the exact cause—whether it's a wiring issue in your walls or a problem with a specific circuit—so we can make a precise, lasting repair to restore safety and convenience.

How can an electrical inspection prevent outdoor outlet problems in our climate?

Ephrata's humidity, rain, and winter weather can cause corrosion and moisture damage in outdoor outlets, creating shock hazards and power failures. Our inspection includes checking all exterior outlets for proper weatherproof covers (WR-rated), ground fault protection (GFCI), and signs of internal corrosion. We identify vulnerabilities before they cause a failure, ensuring your outdoor lighting, tools, and decorations remain safe and operational year-round.

What should I expect during a McCarty & Son home electrical inspection?

Our thorough, neighborly inspection reviews your entire electrical system. We'll check your service panel for proper breaker function and capacity, test all outlets (including GFCIs and AFCIs) for safety, inspect wiring for damage, and assess outdoor components for weather resistance. We provide a clear, detailed report of our findings, prioritizing any safety issues common in our area, and explain your repair options without pressure, so you can make informed decisions for your home.
