Stafford Empire Electric Co - Stafford's Emergency Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. During a thorough electrical inspection, our electricians will test all GFCI outlets for proper function and response time. We'll identify if they are failing to trip correctly, which is a serious safety hazard, and check for underlying issues like moisture intrusion or faulty wiring that can cause premature failure, ensuring your home's protection against electrical shock is fully operational.

Yes, addressing an overheating meter is a critical part of our inspection process for Stafford homeowners. We will examine the meter base, connections, and the service panel for loose terminals, corrosion, or overloaded circuits that cause excessive heat. This helps prevent potential fire hazards and damage to your home's electrical system, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery.

We recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. For newer constructions, an inspection after the first 10 years is advisable. Given our local climate and common issues like GFCI and meter problems, more frequent checks can be prudent to catch minor issues before they lead to failures or safety concerns.
