Yes, absolutely. A core part of our detailed electrical inspection involves checking the electrical meter and its connections for signs of overheating, such as discoloration, melting, or a burning smell. This is a common issue in our area, and catching it early during an inspection can prevent power outages and serious fire hazards. We'll assess the cause and provide a clear plan for a safe repair or meter base upgrade.

Our inspection protocol includes a specific focus on identifying and evaluating aluminum wiring systems, which are prevalent in many local homes. We check for the tell-tale signs of risk, like overheating at connections and outlets, which can lead to fire.
