Certified Electrical Company in Bensalem, PA 19020 - W J Dietz

Our standard electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's entire electrical system, including wiring, panels, and all outlets. We specifically test all GFCI outlets to ensure they are functioning correctly and tripping at the proper amperage to prevent shocks. Since GFCI failures are common in Bensalem due to humidity and age, this check is crucial for safety in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, helping to prevent hazardous situations before they occur.

Yes, frequent breaker trips are a classic sign of an overloaded panel, a common issue in older Bensalem homes with increased modern electrical demands. During our inspection, we assess your breaker panel's capacity against your home's current and projected electrical load. We check for double-tapped breakers, proper amperage ratings, and signs of overheating. This allows us to determine if the panel is simply overloaded and needs an upgrade or if there's a specific circuit fault causing the problem.

Many electrical hazards, like deteriorating wiring behind walls or subtle GFCI malfunctions, aren't obvious until they cause a problem. In Bensalem, where homes range in age, an inspection acts as a preventative health check for your electrical system. It can uncover hidden issues related to local wear-and-tear, ensure your system meets current safety codes, and provide peace of mind that your family and home are protected from the risks of electrical fires or shocks.
