Ensure Your Switches & Outlets Are Working Properly

While most homeowners make use of a great deal of their home’s electrical outlets on a regular basis, they are likely going to be seeing even heavier use as the holiday season comes closer. If you are among the many, many homeowners who like to decorate their homes for any of the holidays during this time of year, you are likely going to find yourself depending on extension cords and surge protectors alike to house all of the various cords that you are going to be running throughout your home. Before you start plugging all of the various light strings and other decorations in, however, you want to be sure that your outlets are in good shape. During the course of your electrical safety inspection, our team of professionals will take a closer look at the outlets throughout your home and make sure that they are all working like they should be, and none of them have suffered damage of any kind that could pose a risk to your home over the coming months. No one wants to have their holiday decorations go up in smoke, so make sure you schedule your electrical safety inspection this fall before you start to decorate.

Check On Your Electrical Panel

If the wiring in your home serves as the nerves of your electrical system, then your electrical panel would undoubtedly be the brain. Your electrical panel is in charge of taking in power from the line outside of your home and directing it throughout your home to where it is needed. Now, before the holiday season, it is important to have your electrical panel inspected to make sure that it is functioning properly and that it is equipped to deal with the kind of electrical demands you and your family are going to be placing on it in the coming months. While your electrical panel might be equipped to deal with the demands of an average day, the added strain of feeding power to decorations and lighting could easily push it over the edge, and when that happens you could wind up with frequently tripping breakers or blown fuses, both of which could be a fire hazard to your home if anything isn’t working like it should be.

The holidays are supposed to be a festive time of year. Don’t risk letting your holiday season turn into a disaster because of electrical issues that could have been easily prevented. Schedule your electrical safety inspection today.
