Power Safety Audit

Not only is your home your biggest asset, but also the place where you and your family are at rest. Your electrical system gradually deteriorate with use, misuse, age and increased demand. To ensure the electrical safety of your home, your electrical inspection should be up to date, defects corrected and service upgraded to meet present and predictable demands.

Take this quick evaluation of your home to determine just how safe your home's electrical may be.

1. Is your home over 30 years old?

2. Has your home had a major addition or renovation or major new appliance added such as a refrigerator, freezer, air conditioner or electric furnace in the last 10 years?

3. Are you the new owner of a previously owned home?

4. Do your lights flicker or dim momentarily?


5. Do your circuit breakers trip or fuses blow often?
 
6. Are your outlet and light switch face plates hot to the touch or discolored?

7. Do you hear cracking, sizzling or buzzing from your outlets?

8. Do you have extension cords and multiple power strips permanently in use around the house?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above, it is highly recommended that you perform a Safety Power Audit of your home.
