An electrical inspection provides many benefits to businesses and homes. Much like dentistry, electrical work is much better when it is done as a preventative service. By getting an electrical inspection, you can keep your home or business safe from various electrical issues like loss of power or electrical fires. Cardoso Electrical Services is eastern Massachusetts lead provider in 24/7 emergency electrical services. But, we also provide preventative inspections and maintenance services for commercial and residential properties. Inspections should always be performed by licensed and trustworthy electricians.
When Should You Get An Inspection?
There are a variety of circumstances that warrant an electrical inspection.
- New Construction: Whenever you remodel or add an addition to your property, you should make sure the new electrical installations are correctly installed and are safe.
- Timing: If it has been years since you have had an inspection (or you are unsure if your building has ever been inspected) it is smart to set up an inspection. Massachusetts electrical code has been updated over the years, and old installations degrade over time.
- Buying New Property: If you have recently purchased a new home or a new property for business, make sure to have an electrician walk through it and check it for any needed code corrections. If possible, have this done before you purchase the property so you are fully aware of any issues before you move in.
- Issues: if you are notice common issues like outages, flickering lights, broken fuses, or notice that the areas around outlets are becoming burnt, you should immediately schedule an inspection.
There are many reasons you should get an electrical inspection. When working with a trustworthy electrician, you can ensure not only your safety but also ensure that your electrical system will not become a liability.
Keeping Your Property Safe
The primary reason every business and home should schedule an inspection is for safety. Poorly managed electrical systems can be a strong liability for businesses and a danger to homeowners. A simple inspection can help keep your building safe. Many buildings throughout Massachusetts continue to use aluminum wiring instead of safer copper wiring. In other cases, frayed wires and water damage caused by plumbing issues can also put your home at risk. If it has been a while since your building was seen by an electrician, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment.
Lowering Your Utility Bill
A less dire reason to schedule an electrical inspection is that it may help lower your electrical bill. Many homeowners and property managers look at electrical inspections and following electrical work as an investment. Improving your electrical systems can decrease your utility bill month to month and also fix annoying issues like flickering lights.
Electrical Code Compliance For Your Building
Another reason to get an electrical inspection is to keep your building code compliant. This is a must for businesses and property realtors that lease out apartments or condo units. Having up to date electrical inspections that prove your building is up to code is a vital part of your business.
