Frequently Asked Questions
My breakers keep tripping in my Thompsontown home. Will an electrical inspection from STP Electric & Sons identify the cause?
Absolutely. Frequent tripping breakers are a classic sign of an overloaded panel or faulty circuit, common issues in our area. Our thorough electrical inspection includes load testing your panel and circuits to pinpoint exactly where the overload is occurring. We'll identify if you simply have too many appliances on one circuit or if your home's overall electrical capacity needs an upgrade, providing a clear path to a safe and reliable system.
How can an inspection check for improper grounding, and why is it important for my home's safety?
Proper grounding is critical for safety, directing stray voltage safely into the earth to prevent shocks or fires. During our inspection, we use specialized equipment to test your outlets and electrical system's grounding integrity. Many older homes in Juniata County have outdated or absent grounding systems. We check for this and can recommend solutions like GFCI outlet installation or a full system upgrade to protect your family and electronics from dangerous electrical faults.
What should I expect from a full electrical inspection with STP Electric & Sons?
You can expect a comprehensive, neighborly assessment of your home's entire electrical system. We'll examine your breaker panel for capacity and wear, test outlets and switches for proper function and grounding, check wiring in accessible areas, and assess major appliances. You'll receive a detailed report explaining any issues—like those common panel overloads—in plain language, along with prioritized recommendations for repairs or upgrades to ensure your Thompsontown home is safe and up to code.
