Electrical Safety Inspection Services

Harris provides electrical safety inspection services that help protect your home, your family, and your electrical system. During each inspection, our team evaluates the essential components of your electrical system to ensure they are operating safely, performing efficiently, and meeting current code requirements. This thorough approach helps prevent issues that could lead to safety hazards, costly repairs, or unexpected system failures.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Testing

A reliable electrical safety inspection includes confirming that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly. Our team checks each detector, verifies its age, and ensures it is within the recommended lifespan for dependable performance. By reviewing these devices carefully, we help maintain essential protection against two silent and potentially deadly hazards that every home must guard against.

Full Electrical System Evaluation

Our electrical safety inspections include an in-depth review of the key components that keep your home powered safely. During this evaluation, we assess:

• Electrical meter
• Breaker panel and individual breakers
• GFCI and AFCI outlets
• Interior and exterior wiring
• Grounding and bonding systems

Each element is reviewed for signs of wear, loose or faulty connections, outdated technology, or conditions that may indicate a developing safety risk. This process allows us to pinpoint concerns before they create major problems and ensures that your electrical system remains dependable.

Identifying Fire and Safety Hazards

Electrical issues are a common source of residential fires, which makes early detection essential. During every inspection, we look for conditions that could increase the risk of fire, shock, or system failure. When a concern is identified, our team provides clear explanations and guidance on corrective steps so you can make informed decisions about your home’s safety. This proactive approach supports long-term reliability and reduces the likelihood of emergencies.

Finding Developing Electrical Problems

Many electrical problems begin with small but noticeable signs, and addressing them early helps prevent larger, more expensive issues. Indicators of developing electrical trouble often include:

• Flickering or dimming light
• Frequently tripped circuits
• Warm or discolored outlets or switches
• Outlets that are loose, failing, or sparking

By identifying these issues during your inspection, we help improve overall system performance, support better energy efficiency, and protect sensitive electronics and appliances from inconsistent power delivery.

Updating Outdated Breakers and Wiring

Older electrical components are more common in homes than many homeowners realize, and they can pose serious safety concerns if left unaddressed. During an inspection, we look for:

• Aging or deteriorating wiring
• Panels that no longer meet modern safety standards
• Breakers that fail to trip reliably
• Signs of improper or past DIY electrical work

Identifying outdated equipment allows you to correct these concerns before they escalate into costly repairs or potential hazards. Updating aging electrical components is one of the most effective ways to increase the safety and reliability of your home’s electrical system.

Helping Prevent Emergencies

Harris focuses on identifying electrical concerns early so they can be resolved before they become emergencies. When homeowners notice unusual smells, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm, it often signals that the system needs attention. Addressing these issues promptly, combined with routine electrical safety inspections, helps maintain a safer home environment and ensures your electrical system continues to operate as it should.
