The Importance of Electrical Safety at Home
Schedule Regular Electrical Safety Inspections
An electrical safety inspection is an evaluation from a professional electrician of your home’s electrical system. The goal is to discover any potential hiccups and address them before they become major, more costly issues. For example, if we notice that your wiring appears to be frayed or we discover some faulty electrical outlets, we can provide recommendations on how to fix these problems.
While we hope to give your system the all-clear, it’s possible that we might find an issue that can be fixed before it causes a major hazard. Whatever we discover, we provide you with actionable solutions. We use the National Electrical Code (NED) as our resource to make sure your home is compliant with all of the necessary electrical codes and safety standards. During your electrical safety inspection, your Mr. Electric of Kirkwood electrician arrives on time and in uniform at your door.
Some of the areas that we check in your home include:
- Appliances
- Circuits
- Outlets
- Switches
- Systems
- Smoke detectors
