Q&A

How can an electrical inspection from Tompkins Electrical prevent short circuits in my older Hingham home?

In older Hingham homes, aging insulation and outdated wiring are prime causes of short circuits. Our thorough electrical inspection checks for worn wires, improper connections, and overloaded circuits behind your walls. We identify these hidden hazards before they can spark a short, allowing us to make targeted repairs that enhance safety and prevent future electrical fires.

My appliances in Hingham keep getting damaged by surges. Will an inspection help?

Absolutely. Frequent power surges often stem from issues within your home's electrical system, like a faulty panel or poor grounding, not just external grid problems. Our inspection includes testing your home's grounding and evaluating your main service panel and individual circuits. We can then recommend solutions, such as installing whole-house surge protection or updating your electrical service, to shield your appliances from damage.

What specifically do you look for during an electrical inspection for an older South Shore home?

For older homes in Hingham and the South Shore, our inspection focuses on common local issues. We check for knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, evaluate the capacity and condition of your main electrical panel, ensure proper grounding, look for signs of overheating in outlets, and assess if circuits are overloaded by modern appliance demands. The goal is to provide a clear report on your system's safety and recommend necessary upgrades for peace of mind.
