A standard inspection is a thorough review of your home's electrical system for safety and code compliance. I'll check your breaker panel for proper load management, inspect wiring and connections, test outlets and GFCIs, and evaluate the grounding system. With over 21 years of experience, I also use tools like thermal imaging to spot hidden issues like hot spots in wiring. This proactive check helps prevent common local problems like overloaded panels before they cause damage or become a safety hazard.

Yes, frequent breaker trips from panel overloads are a common call I receive from Plymouth residents, often in older homes or after adding new appliances. I start by analyzing your panel's load capacity and your household's power usage, sometimes using Fluke testing logs for precise data. The solution may involve re-balancing the circuits, upgrading specific breakers, or, if needed, a panel upgrade to safely handle modern electrical demands. Properly addressing this prevents overheating and protects your home's wiring.

A proper grounding system is your primary defense against electrical shocks and fire hazards. It safely directs stray voltage into the earth. In our area, I sometimes find older homes with outdated or improper grounding. During an inspection, I verify your grounding rods and connections meet current codes. This is a critical part of whole-house safety and is especially important for protecting sensitive electronics, which is why I often recommend pairing it with a whole-house surge protector for complete protection.
