The Electrical Safety Foundation International recommends having electrical safety inspections conducted by a qualified technician in order to prevent dangers like fires. They warn that home electrical fires account for 51,000 fires each year, nearly 500 deaths, more than 1400 injuries, and $1.3 billion in property damage.

A typical home should undergo an electrical safety inspection every 3-5 years in order to prevent fires and other electrical damage. Keeping track of this timeline will help make sure your house stays a home that is fully safe for all those who live in it.

We also perform electrical safety inspections when a house is being sold. This gives peace of mind to both the buyer and the seller because it sets the foundation for continued electrical safety in the home. Another clue that you might need an electrical safety inspection is when you notice electrical problems occurring in your home. This can include power outages and tripped circuit breakers.

 Other signs that you need an electrical safety inspection include:

Warning Signs: Flickering Lights and Electrical Safety

If your lights are flickering, this can be due to a variety of issues. Sometimes, it might be an issue as simple as a loose bulb or a faulty switch. Other times, it could be a sign of a more serious issue with the electrical wiring. It can be easy to write flickering lights off as a simple annoyance, but the consequences can be much worse than an annoyance if left unattended.

Overheating Issues: Hot Light Switches and Sockets

If your light switches or electrical sockets are hot, it is a sign that the switch or outlet is overloaded. This means the rated load for the circuit wiring is exceeded. In other words, too much electricity is passing through and it is more than the circuit can handle. It is best to contact a licensed electrician as soon as possible if you notice this issue because excessive wear on the internal wiring system can cause a fire.

Fire Hazards: Identifying Burning Smells in Your Home

If you notice a burning smell throughout your home that does not subside, it could be due to burning oil from the motor’s heat output. If you notice the smell is coming from your breaker box, it could be that your wire’s insulation is burning or the breaker is overheating. In this case, it is important to contact an electrician to avoid safety issues.

Electrical Circuit Noises: When to Be Concerned

It is normal to hear some buzzing sounds from the circuit breaker, but if the sounds are excessive and persistent, it could be a sign of a loose or damaged wire or a tripping circuit breaker. Our team can repair and replace the wire or breaker and restore the safety of your home.
