Short circuits in older homes are often caused by deteriorated insulation, overloaded circuits, or faulty wiring. Our comprehensive electrical inspection meticulously examines your entire system to pinpoint the exact source of the problem—whether it's in an outlet, a switch, or within the walls. We then provide a clear, prioritized plan to repair the immediate hazard and upgrade any outdated components to prevent future issues, ensuring your home's safety.

Aluminum wiring, common in homes built from the mid-60s to mid-70s, can pose fire hazards due to oxidation and connection loosening over time. Our specialized inspection focuses on checking for signs of overheating at outlets and switches, verifying proper connections at terminals, and assessing the overall integrity of the wiring system. We'll advise if simple remediation like CO/ALR-rated devices is sufficient or if a more comprehensive upgrade, such as copper pig-tailing, is recommended for long-term safety.

Our standard inspection for North Haven homeowners is a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical safety and capacity. We check your service panel for proper labeling and amperage, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets, verify grounding, inspect wiring in accessible areas like attics and basements, and assess the condition of switches and fixtures. The goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health, identify any code violations or immediate hazards like those common with older wiring, and provide a clear report with recommendations tailored to your home.
