Old Hickory Electrical Inspection Experts | S & S Electric of Tenn Line

Loose electrical connections are a common issue in our area that can lead to arcing, overheating, and even electrical fires. Our professional electrical inspection involves a systematic check of your wiring, terminals, and outlets. We specifically test for signs of loose connections—like warm outlets or flickering lights—that homeowners might miss. Catching and tightening these connections during an inspection is a crucial preventative measure for safety and system reliability.

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are essential safety devices, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors, but they can fail over time. During our inspection, we manually test every GFCI outlet using its built-in 'Test' and 'Reset' buttons and also use a specialized circuit tester to verify it trips correctly under a fault condition. This is critical because a failed GFCI won't protect you from severe shock, a risk we take seriously to keep Old Hickory families safe.

Absolutely. Many unexpected electrical failures, like an outlet suddenly not working or a breaker constantly tripping, are often preceded by warning signs like loose connections or a deteriorating GFCI. Our inspection acts as a proactive health check for your entire electrical system. By identifying and correcting these underlying issues—common in our local homes—we help you avoid the inconvenience and potential danger of a sudden failure, providing peace of mind.
