Licensed Electrical Company in Carbondale, PA 18407 - Wallis George J Jr

Absolutely. During an electrical inspection, we specifically test all GFCI outlets for proper function and trip times. In Carbondale's climate, these outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages can wear out. An inspection identifies weak or faulty GFCIs before they fail, ensuring your home's critical safety devices are working to prevent shocks.

Our inspections include checking your home's grounding system and evaluating the main electrical panel for proper surge protection. We look for signs of past surges and recommend solutions, like installing whole-house surge protectors, to shield your appliances from the voltage spikes common in our area, potentially saving you from costly replacements.

Yes, it's highly recommended. Replacing the appliance without an inspection leaves the root cause unaddressed. We'll diagnose why the surge happened—whether it's an internal wiring issue, faulty panel component, or lack of protection—and fix it. This ensures your new appliance, and all your others, are safeguarded against future damage.
