Electrical Checkup

Routine electrical maintenance is essential to ensure a safe living environment, prevent electrical hazards, and avoid costly repairs.

1. Inspect Wiring, Cables, and Plugs

Look for visible signs of damage, including fraying, cracking, or broken wires. Pay special attention to areas with high foot traffic or where furniture may cause wear over time.

2. Check for Discoloration

Look for any unusual color changes or darkened spots, which could be a sign of an electrical issue. 

3. Tighten Loose Electrical Outlets and Switches

Loose electrical outlets and switches can be dangerous, as they may result in electrical sparks or fire hazards.

4. Inspect and Repair Damaged Insulation

The insulation around electrical wiring plays a vital role in preventing electrical shocks and fires. Look for any cuts, tears, or deterioration in the insulation.

5. Look for Signs of Overloading

Inspect areas where multiple devices are plugged into one outlet or extension cord. Avoid overloading circuits to reduce the risk of electrical fires.
