Most electrical problems announce themselves long before they become dangerous, but only if someone is looking. An inspection is how you find out what your system is doing before it forces the issue.
Condition, capacity and safety of the panel itself.
The condition and type of wiring throughout the property.
Confirming that ground-fault and arc-fault protection actually works.
Placement, function and condition.
Whether your property is protected, and where the gaps are.
Checking for damage, wear and incorrect wiring.
If an inspection turns up work that needs doing, cost shouldn't be the reason it waits. Flexible financing through Synchrony Bank covers the repairs and upgrades an inspection identifies.
I highly recommend working with Frain Electric. From the initial walkthrough to final task, Brendan provided excellent service. Being a first time homeowner, I asked many questions related to safety and my homes electric system. Brendan was extremely knowledgeable and patient, taking time to re-explain things to help me understand. All of the many jobs he completed were all done neatly and with care. We look forward to working with Frain again in the future.
Great first time experience! Brendan came out to assess electric issues in our home. He completed an assessment and found the issue quickly. He also explained everything to my husband. His pricing is great and he is very professional and detail oriented. We will be utilizing him for all of our future electric needs.
A full look at your wiring, outlets, switches and panel, GFCI and AFCI testing, smoke and carbon monoxide detector checks, and an assessment of surge protection. We explain what we find in plain terms.
We tell you what it is, how serious it is, and whether it needs attention now or can wait. Not everything we find is urgent, and we will say so. You decide what to do next.
Yes, that is part of the inspection. We check placement, condition and function, since detectors have a service life and are frequently missed.
When buying or selling a home, after significant renovations, if the property is older, or every three to five years as routine maintenance.
