Q&A
How can an electrical inspection from Peterson Electric prevent breaker overloads in my New Orleans home?
Our thorough electrical inspection assesses your entire system's capacity and current load. We identify if your breaker panel is outdated or insufficient for modern appliances, a common issue in older New Orleans homes. By evaluating the wiring and circuit balance, we can recommend solutions—like a panel upgrade or adding dedicated circuits—to safely distribute power and prevent dangerous overloads before they trip your breakers or cause damage.
My outlets feel warm to the touch. Would an inspection find the cause?
Absolutely. Overheated outlets are a serious fire hazard and a key focus of our inspections. We check for loose connections, faulty wiring behind the outlet, and circuits that are overloaded with too many devices—common culprits for the heat you're feeling. Our inspection pinpoints the exact cause, allowing us to make the necessary repairs or upgrades to ensure your outlets are cool, safe, and functioning properly.
As a New Orleans homeowner, what specific things do you look for during an electrical inspection to address local common problems?
We perform a neighborly yet expert assessment tailored to local homes. We specifically check for signs of corrosion from our humid climate, the condition of older wiring common in historic properties, and whether your breaker panel has enough capacity for today's air conditioning and appliance loads. We also test GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms for safety. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of your system's health and a practical plan to fix any issues we find, ensuring your home is safe and up to current electrical codes.
