10-Point Electrical Safety Evaluation
Peace of Mind Starts with a Safe Home
What’s Included in Our 10-Point Evaluation
Our licensed electricians take the time to examine the most common risk areas in your electrical system:
1. Electrical Panel Age & Capacity
We check for outdated or unsafe panels—especially FPE or Zinsco brands—and look for signs of rust, heat damage, or inadequate amperage. Many Washington homes are overdue for a panel upgrade, especially if you’re planning to install new appliances or EV chargers.
2. Wiring Condition
Frayed, aluminum, ungrounded, or improperly installed wiring can all present safety concerns.
3. Surge Protection
We verify if whole-home surge protection is installed or needed to safeguard electronics and appliances.
4. GFCI/AFCI Protection
Ground-fault and arc-fault protection is essential in bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. We’ll ensure these safeguards are in place.
5. Grounding & Bonding
Our team checks for proper ground rods, equipment grounds, and bonding to keep your system code-compliant and shock-resistant.
6. Device Functionality
We identify any loose or non-functioning outlets, switches, lights, or circuits that trip without reason.
7. Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms
We’ll confirm that detectors are present, functional, and placed where they’re needed most.
8. Electric Heater Safety
We inspect electric wall heaters for discoloration, age, thermostat issues, and safe clearance from other objects.
9. Tamper-Resistant Outlets
Tamper-resistant outlets reduce shock risk, especially in homes with kids. We’ll check if your outlets meet modern safety standards.
10. Extension Cord Overuse
Over-reliance on power strips or extension cords can indicate underpowered circuits—and increase fire hazards.
