Q&A
What does an electrical inspection involve for a Farmington home?
Our electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's entire electrical system. We check for code compliance, safety hazards, and the proper function of panels, wiring, outlets, and fixtures. For Farmington residents, we pay special attention to issues common in older homes, such as the condition of aluminum wiring and potential points for short circuits, providing you with a detailed report and recommendations.
Why is aluminum wiring a concern in some Farmington homes, and how can McPhee Electric help?
Many homes built in the 1960s and 70s used aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time due to oxidation and loosening connections. This is a known issue in our area. Our electricians are trained to identify and safely remediate aluminum wiring hazards, often through approved methods like installing special connectors (pigtailing with copper) at outlets and switches to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
