Common Questions

How can an electrical inspection from Tec Electric help if I suspect improper grounding in my Somerset home?

Our detailed inspection includes a full assessment of your grounding system. We check your main service panel ground, all outlet grounds, and the connection to your grounding rod. In Somerset's older neighborhoods, we often find undersized or corroded grounding conductors. We'll identify any deficiencies, explain the risks (like appliance damage or shock hazard), and provide a clear plan to bring your system up to the National Electrical Code, ensuring your family's safety.

My lights flicker intermittently. Could this be related to damaged underground cables, and would an inspection find it?

Yes, flickering lights, especially during wet weather, are a classic symptom of moisture penetrating damaged underground service cables—a common issue in our area. Our inspection process goes beyond the walls. We'll perform voltage tests at your main panel and trace the service back to the utility connection point. If the problem originates underground, we'll identify the fault location and coordinate with the utility or provide a repair quote for the section on your property, solving the persistent flicker at its source.

What specific parts of my electrical system does Tec Electric check during an inspection for these local problems?

Focusing on Somerset's common issues, our inspection prioritizes key areas: We meticulously test all grounding points and bonds, inspect the service entrance cables (both overhead and underground sections) for damage or corrosion, and evaluate your main panel's condition and capacity. We also check for proper GFCI protection in wet areas—crucial for safety. You'll receive a prioritized report detailing any improper grounding or cable integrity issues we find, with straightforward recommendations for repair.
