Signs You Need an Electrical Inspection

You may be unsure about when exactly it’s time to get a professional to perform a safety inspection on your electrical system. There are certain situations where getting your system checked for problems is especially important. We’ve laid out a few of these circumstances below.

  • Electrical Problems

    If you’re experiencing ongoing electrical problems, that’s one of the main reasons you should invest in an electrical inspection. The team at Five Star Home Services will be able to diagnose the problem and present you with suggestions for how to remedy the problem.

  • System Upgrade

    Any time you’re upgrading your home’s HVAC system or installing a new appliance, it’s important to get an inspection of your electrical system to ensure it’s ready to handle the new energy load.

  • Renovations

    When you’re getting your home renovated, you’ll absolutely need to get your electrical system inspected. That’s because any additions or changes in layout will involve changing your wiring and potentially your electrical panel. An inspection will highlight what needs to be changed to complete your renovation.

  • Improved Efficiency

    If energy efficiency is important to you, getting an electrical safety inspection in Dayton, OH, is a great way to have an electrician pinpoint ways you can optimize your electrical system to conserve as much energy as possible.

  • Older Home

    Those living in older homes should especially prioritize getting their electrical systems inspected by a professional. That way, any issues that have been growing for a while can be caught before they get any more serious.

“John Villars came to service my home‚ our electrical needs/repairs. He was prompt, polite and professional throughout his work visit. I had a new breaker box put in so that I could be grounded and up to code. He also updated a couple of electrical sockets and an outdoor one as well. I plan to have them back to correct two more items in my older home. He is so quiet and efficient and the price I feel was very reasonable!”

“Had issues with outside GFI outlet. Alec arrived on time and listened to the problem and replaced the outside GFI outlet. The issue didn’t occur again, but he still gave input on next steps if the problem recurs. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He listened to me, and that doesn’t always happen with all companies. This is the second time I have used Five Star and I am now using them for everything HVAC, Plumbing, or Electrical.”

You may need additional inspections outside of this timeline if you live in an older home, are planning to buy or sell a home, or have issues you’d like investigated.

You can expect your electrical inspection to last anywhere from one-to-three hours. The exact amount of time it will take will depend on your home’s size and how complex your electrical system is. For a more accurate time estimate, you should contact our team at Five Star Home Services directly.

During an electrical safety inspection in Dayton, OH, it’s common to discover circuits that are overloaded, outdated or improperly installed wiring, electrical panels that need to be replaced, and lack of proper grounding.
