FAQs
Why do my arc fault breakers in Kensington keep tripping, and how can an electrical inspection help?
Arc fault breakers in Kensington homes are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs that can cause fires. They can nuisance trip due to aging appliances, damaged wires, or even certain types of lighting. Our comprehensive electrical inspection pinpoints the exact cause—whether it's a faulty device, a wiring issue in your walls, or an overloaded circuit. We then provide a clear solution to stop the tripping and ensure your home's safety without compromising the important protection AFCIs provide.
I attempted a DIY electrical repair that's now causing problems. Can Ritzau fix it safely?
Absolutely. Our licensed electricians frequently help Kensington homeowners correct and safely complete DIY electrical projects. We never judge; our priority is your safety. We will conduct a thorough inspection of the work, identify any code violations or hazards—like loose connections or improper wiring—and bring everything up to Maryland's strict safety standards. Fixing it right the first time prevents future risks, ensures your system is reliable, and gives you peace of mind.
What does a general contractor's electrical inspection cover that a basic check doesn't?
As a combined general contractor and electrical company, our inspections for Kensington homes have a broader scope. We don't just check your wiring and panels; we assess how the electrical system integrates with the entire home. This includes evaluating circuits for upcoming renovation plans, ensuring proper grounding for additions, and identifying if an electrical issue is symptomatic of a larger building concern (like moisture from a leak). This holistic view prevents future problems and is invaluable for planning any home improvement project.
