Your home is filled with electrical systems and it is important to have it inspected periodically. But there are some people who think the whole idea is a scam. In this episode, we’ll go over why that’s not the case. We’ll also talk about what an electrician is looking for during an inspection.
An electrical inspection is a thorough checkup of your whole electrical system. Your electrical system is the only system that’s in every room in the house. That means the entire home has places where a failure in the electrical system can cause some serious damage or injury.
And unlike some of the other systems, almost all of it hides behind walls or panels. That means you need to know where to look and what you’re looking for in order to find a lot of possible problems. An electrician knows how to look for corrosion, bad breaker panels, or other potential hazards.
There are several situations where it’s a good idea to keep your home safe with an electrical inspection. For example, it’s good to have one when you’re buying a new home unless it was just constructed. It’s also a good idea to have one done if your home is 10 years old or older. And it’s even more important if you’re seeing anything unusual going on, like flickering lights or crackling noises.
