Total Electric | Certified Electrical Contractor in North Branford, CT

Yes, absolutely. A professional electrical inspection from Total Electric includes a thorough evaluation of your home's wiring system. We specifically check for the presence of aluminum wiring, which is common in many older North Branford homes, and assess its condition for potential hazards like loose connections and overheating that can lead to fire risks.

Our inspection assesses your home's entire electrical system, including the main panel, grounding, and existing surge protection. We identify vulnerabilities that leave appliances exposed to damage from the power surges that occasionally affect our area. Based on our findings, we can recommend and install solutions like whole-home surge protectors to provide a critical first line of defense for your valuable electronics.

Our inspection for aluminum wiring is detailed and safety-focused. We will examine outlets, switches, and connections at the main panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, or improper repairs (like the dangerous practice of 'pig-tailing' with copper without the correct connectors). We provide a clear, written report on the condition and outline the recommended solutions, such as installing COPALUM crimp connectors or upgrading specific circuits, to ensure your home's safety.
