When
To Get An Electrical Inspection
- Flickering/Dimming lights. Flickering can be normal in certain bulb types or when a large electrical appliance (like an AC or heat pump) turns on. But frequent dimming or flickering of lights can indicate a serious electrical problem like corroding wires, a faulty electrical panel or a loose circuit connection.
- Hot switches or outlets. Heat should never radiate from a switch or outlet. This could mean the outlet/switch is getting overloaded or has a loose connection that's making wires touch. We recommend you turn off the switch or unplug everything from the outlet and call a professional electrician.
- Frequently tripped circuit breakers. Circuit breakers are designed to protect your electrical system from being overloaded. If you notice a circuit breaker tripping when you use a certain outlet, the circuit is getting overloaded.
- Buzzing/Humming noises. Electrical circuits shouldn't make noise. A buzzing or humming noise usually indicates a faulty appliance or wire connection.
- Sparking. Electrical sparks of any kind aren't normal. If you see sparks coming from an appliance, outlet or your main electrical panel, call a professional right away.
- Water damage. Wiring that has been submerged or in contact with water will almost definitely need to be replaced. If your home has suffered any kind of flooding or water damage (from a storm, pipe leak, etc.), don't use electricity until you get an electrical inspection.
In addition to the signs above, we also recommend getting a home electrical inspection when:
- Installing a new appliance
- Doing a major renovation
- Your power has been off for 6+ months
- Your home is 30+ years old
