Why is it important to have an annual electrical inspection?

Like maintenance on your Car, Pool, and other equipment that you own its extremely important to maintain your electrical system and electrical safety equipment.

 

-All smoke detectors should be tested once a year for proper function and if they are not a 10-year sealed battery type, all batteries should be replaced also. These devices are a life safety device and a crucial part of the electrical system.

 

-All electrical panel connections should be checked and re-torqued as needed. It is suggested to do a thermal imaging of the panel to see if hot spots are forming and need attention. This is the heart of your electrical system and is the most important part of the system to keep your place up and running.

 

-All GFCI devices and breakers need to be tested and replaced as needed. These devices are life safety and are a crucial part of the electrical system.

 

Maintenance on these devices is just a part of the important steps in an all-home safety inspection that should be done once a year on a home or business.
