We tighten connections, test safety devices, identify worn components, and make recommendations for improvements. A maintenance visit gives you peace of mind that your electrical system is safe and working properly.
Regular electrical maintenance is one of the best investments you can make in your home. It prevents unexpected failures, extends the life of your electrical system, protects your appliances and electronics, and keeps your family safe from electrical hazards.

Do Not Wait for Problems to Appear
Many electrical problems develop gradually and only become apparent when they cause a failure or create a safety hazard. By the time you notice a problem, it may have been developing for months or years. Regular maintenance catches these issues early, when they are easy and affordable to fix. Do not wait for an emergency to have your electrical system checked.
What's Included in Our Electrical Maintenance Service
Our comprehensive electrical maintenance service covers every part of your home's electrical system. Here is what we inspect, test, and maintain:
Electrical Panel Inspection and Maintenance
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. We inspect the panel for signs of damage, corrosion, or overheating. We check every connection for tightness, look for signs of arcing or scorching, and test the main breaker and individual breakers for proper operation.
What we check: Main breaker operation, individual breaker operation, tightness of all connections, condition of bus bars, signs of overheating or corrosion, proper breaker sizing, and overall panel condition. We also verify that the panel is properly labeled and that circuit mapping is accurate.
Common issues we find: Loose breaker connections, corroded bus bars, overheated breakers, incorrect breaker types, outdated panels that need replacement, and panels that are full with no room for additional circuits.
Outlet and Switch Inspection
Outlets and switches are the most frequently used parts of your electrical system. We inspect every accessible outlet and switch in your home for signs of wear, damage, or improper wiring.
What we check: Proper grounding, correct polarity, tight connections, signs of overheating or damage, GFCI and AFCI operation, and proper outlet and switch operation. We also check for outlets that no longer hold plugs firmly and switches that feel loose or spongy.
Common issues we find: Loose connections, worn internal contacts, reversed polarity, missing ground wires, damaged outlets that have been painted over, and GFCI outlets that have failed and no longer provide protection.
Wiring Inspection
The wiring in your walls is hidden from view, but we have tools and techniques to check its condition without cutting holes in your walls. We test circuits for proper operation, check for signs of damage, and identify potential issues.
What we check: Circuit continuity, proper voltage, signs of overheating, rodent damage to exposed wiring in attics and crawl spaces, and deterioration of insulation in older homes.
Common issues we find: Loose connections in junction boxes, damaged wiring from rodents or construction, deteriorated insulation in older homes, and improper wiring from previous DIY work.
Lighting Inspection
We inspect all light fixtures in your home for proper operation, correct wiring, and safety. We check for signs of overheating, loose connections, and improper installation.
What we check: Proper fixture mounting, correct wiring, tight connections, signs of overheating or damage, and proper bulb types for each fixture.
Common issues we find: Loose connections in fixtures, fixtures that are not properly supported, fixtures with overheating ballasts or transformers, and fixtures with the wrong type of bulbs installed.
GFCI and AFCI Testing
GFCI and AFCI devices are critical safety features that protect against electrical shock and fire. We test every GFCI outlet and AFCI breaker in your home to ensure they are working correctly.
What we check: GFCI trip and reset operation, AFCI trip operation, proper wiring, and protection of downstream outlets. We verify that GFCI outlets are located in all required areas including bathrooms, kitchens, garages, basements, and outdoor spaces.
Common issues we find: GFCI outlets that have failed and no longer trip when tested, GFCI outlets that are not protecting downstream outlets, missing GFCI protection in required areas, and AFCI breakers that have been improperly wired.
Grounding and Bonding Check
Proper grounding and bonding are essential for electrical safety. We verify that your home's electrical system is properly grounded and that all metal components are bonded together correctly.
What we check: Ground rod connection, water pipe bonding, panel grounding, and bonding of metal boxes and conduit. We verify that the grounding system provides a safe path for fault current.
Common issues we find: Loose or corroded ground connections, missing water pipe bonds, inadequate grounding electrodes, and unbonded metal components that can become energized.
