What We Check During Your Electrical Safety Evaluation

Our evaluation moves through your home in a clear, logical order.

  1. Panel and service. We inspect the panel, breakers, and service equipment for heat, wear, and proper sizing.
  2. Wiring. We look for damaged, outdated, or improperly connected wiring where it can be reached.
  3. Outlets and switches. We test outlets for power, grounding, and polarity, and check switches for wear.
  4. Protection devices. We test GFCI outlets, surge protection, and smoke and CO detectors.
  5. Review. We walk you through what we found and rank anything that needs attention. 

You get straight answers about what is safe, what can wait, and what should be fixed soon. Book online or call the office to schedule your evaluation.

Smoke and CO detectors get special attention, since they are your family’s early warning system. If yours are missing, expired, or not working, our smoke and CO detector installation service can bring them up to date.

Fire and Shock Hazards We Find Most Often

Overloaded circuits are one of the most common findings. When a circuit carries more than it was designed for, wiring and connections heat up over time, which can damage insulation and create a fire risk inside the walls.

Loose or deteriorating connections are another frequent issue. Outlets, switches, and breaker terminals can loosen with years of use, leading to heat, arcing, and scorch marks that are easy to miss until they cause a problem.

We also find missing GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, ungrounded two-prong outlets, aging panels, and do-it-yourself wiring that was never done correctly. In older Allentown homes, outdated wiring such as knob and tube can still be in service, and our knob and tube wiring replacement service can address it if we find it.

Overlamping is a quieter hazard we often see. A bulb with a higher wattage than the fixture is rated for can overheat the fixture and nearby wiring, and the fix is often as simple as the right bulb.

How a Safety Evaluation Protects Your Home and Family

Most electrical hazards stay hidden until something goes wrong. A professional evaluation finds those problems early, while they are still simple to fix, so your family is not caught off guard by a tripped main, a dead circuit, or worse.

An evaluation also gives you a plan. Instead of guessing which projects matter most, you know exactly what needs attention now, what can be scheduled later, and what is in good shape. That makes it easier to budget and to avoid paying for work you do not need.

It is also useful during a home sale. A professional look at the electrical system gives buyers and sellers clear information when big decisions are on the table.

For many homeowners, the biggest benefit is peace of mind. Knowing a licensed electrician has checked your panel, wiring, and safety devices lets you rest easier, especially with kids or older family members at home.

When to Book an Electrical Safety Check

A safety evaluation is a smart move at several points in a home’s life. Consider booking one if you are dealing with any of the following.

Buying or selling a home

Home is several decades old

Planning a remodel or addition

Frequent tripping or flickering

After storm or water damage

Homes that recently added major appliances or had do-it-yourself electrical work done also benefit from a fresh look. If you have not had your electrical system checked in years, an evaluation is a simple way to start fresh. Ask about our maintenance plan, which helps you stay ahead of electrical problems.

How Evaluation Pricing Works

The cost of an electrical safety evaluation depends on the size and age of your home and how much of the system we review. If the evaluation finds repairs, we explain each one and your options before any work begins.
