Of all the home systems, the electrical is the most dangerous. A home electrical inspection provides a thorough examination of your entire electrical system, ensuring all electrical wires, systems, and components meet legal safety standards. An inspection will be able to detect any issues that can end up costing you a lot in future repairs. If you live in an older home, one that has gone through a renovation or you’ve purchased a major new appliance, it’s a good idea to have a licensed electrician perform a home electrical inspection.
Detect Electrical Hazards
The cause of many house fires is due to underlying electrical issues and the number of lives lost is powerful evidence of just how important electrical inspections are. These inspections uncover problem areas that can be taken care of before they develop into a potentially life-threatening situation. These inspections are even more important for people living in or planning to buy a home that is more than 40 years old.
Identification of Old House Wiring
Older homes use knob and tube wiring and homes that are 40 to 50+ years old might have aluminum. These are both outdated and need to be updated with the copper variety. Older wires tend to degrade over time the amp capacity is more than likely limited. Today’s technology and smart gadgets require more electrical demands.
Recommend Energy Savings
The energy market is always fluctuating. This can make trying to get a fix on costs difficult. Electrical inspections can include ways to cut a homeowner’s budget for this fixed cost. Approximately one-fifth of a homeowner’s budget goes to electrical costs that are usually linked to appliance usage. If appliances are wired correctly, they can reduce such costs.
Annual Electrical Inspection is a Good Investment
The electrical system in a home can be tied directly to the cost of insurance. Homeowners that constantly maintain their electrical system can benefit with reduced insurance costs. Most insurance protection is ignored until it’s needed. An annual electrical inspection might be another bill to pay, but the savings you can enjoy down the road make that bill a small price to pay.
Electrical Inspection Can Assist in a Faster Home Sales
Those that want to sell their home want it to happen as quickly as possible. Annual electrical inspections can ensure your home won’t be subject to any delays when it comes time to sell. If your home is up to the most current electrical code the sale can go off much faster.
