Questions and Answers
What should I expect during an electrical inspection from your team?
Our electrical inspections are thorough and designed for your safety. We'll assess your entire system, including wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding. We check for code compliance, identify any potential hazards like overloaded circuits or faulty connections, and evaluate the condition of your equipment. For businesses with custom motors, we also inspect the motor controls and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for efficiency and safety. You'll receive a detailed report with our findings and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
Power surges seem common in our area and have damaged my appliances. How can you help prevent this?
This is a frequent issue we address for Pontiac residents. Power surges can stem from utility grid fluctuations or internal home issues like faulty wiring. Our inspection can identify the root cause. We often recommend and install whole-house surge protection devices at your main electrical panel, which act as a first line of defense for your entire home's circuitry. For sensitive electronics or specific appliances, we can also install point-of-use surge protectors. This layered approach is the most effective way to safeguard your valuable equipment from unexpected voltage spikes.
My outdoor outlets got wet during a recent storm. Is this a serious hazard, and what should I do?
Water intrusion in outlets is a serious safety hazard that requires immediate attention, as it can lead to short circuits, shocks, or fire. If you suspect an outlet is wet, avoid using it and shut off power to that circuit at your breaker panel if it's safe to do so. Contact us right away. We will inspect the affected outlets and wiring for damage, ensure they are properly dried out, and replace any compromised components. We can also install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets in outdoor and damp locations, which are required by code and will instantly cut power if a fault is detected, greatly enhancing safety for Pontiac homes.
