Electrical Inspections in Danvers, MA
A common mistake many homeowners make is not scheduling electrical service until there’s a problem. We recommend scheduling an electrical inspection every several years at a minimum. Through routine inspections, we can catch deterioration as it initially happens and correct it before it becomes a serious electrical issue.
Our team performs targeted electrical inspections, such as for backup generators. We’ll perform a multipoint model-specific inspection that covers all aspects of the generator itself and the automatic transfer switch. This is also an ideal time to have us perform annual maintenance, such as oil changes and spark plug replacements.
We perform code-compliance and safety reviews of electrical systems, too. If you want us to perform code corrections, our electricians in Chelsea and Danvers can do that as they go. Alternatively, we can provide you with a report that itemizes all of the code issues. We perform inspections like that specifically for clients who are preparing to purchase or sell real estate. While a home inspection encompasses the electrical system, we can provide you with a much more in-depth assessment.
Our electrical inspection services can encompass every aspect of your system:
- Wires
- Subpanels
- Service meter
- Electrical panel
- Surge protection
- GFCI and AFCI outlets
- Circuits and circuit breakers
Our Electrical Inspection Services
Whole-home electrical inspections in Chelsea and Danvers include testing all electrical wiring and visually inspecting all accessible wiring. A common issue with older houses in the region includes outdated wiring that we’ll recommend replacing. The industry no longer uses aluminum and knob-and-tube wiring, for instance, because it’s less safe and efficient than modern wiring.
We’ll review your electrical panel as well, and if your panel is older than 25 years, we’ll likely advise replacement. Older panels typically lack the amp coverage a modern home requires, which is at least 150 amps. We’ll recommend converting any fuses to circuit breakers. We can relabel the panel, replace worn circuit breakers, add circuits, and adjust current circuits to avoid overloading.
Another common issue with even new houses is a lack of surge protection, which is now code. The National Electrical Code requires a Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) on the load side of the panel. If a panel is otherwise suitable, we can add an SPD to it. We’ll also add an SPD along with a new panel, as it will be necessary to pass the city inspection.
Many older houses also lack ground- and arc-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs, AFCIs). Modern code requires GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms to protect against shock-related injuries and deaths. It requires AFCIs in many living areas to protect against arc-related electric fires. There are also combination outlets for rooms that need both levels of protection.
