Just like any other system in your home, your residential electrical system requires maintenance. If you’re scratching your head like this is news to you, don’t worry, I would say the majority of customers I have come in contact with have never had their electrical system maintained, let alone knew that their system required it. If you’re thinking “ well i’ve gone this long without maintaining it without something detrimental happening, It must not be necessary”. I get it, buying tires may be the last thing on your mind until you’re pulled over on the side of a road with a flat. Preventative maintenance can give you peace of mind that your electrical system is running safely and efficiently. Let’s go over some of the preventative maintenance services Good Vibrations Electric can provide to you.
Main Service Panel Inspection:
Loose connections cause excessive heat. And loose connections in your panel are almost unavoidable. As your wiring expands and contracts as it heats and cools during normal and abnormal operation, the once tight connections can become loose connections over time. Good Vibrations Electric uses a thermal imaging camera to identify excessive heat in your electrical panel.
Surge Protection:
An often overlooked component of your electrical system is having adequate surge protection. If you have ever witnessed an electrical storm here in Southwest Florida, you know thunder and lightning makes its presence known. But an often misconception is that electrical surges mainly come from lightning. But the truth is 60-80% of electrical surges originate from inside your home. Having surge protection in place will protect devices like your flat screen TV, or your appliances like your brand new washer and dryer.
Faulty Wiring:
Just like the milk in your fridge, components in your electrical system have a shelf life. The insulation on the wire in your home can deteriorate from excessive heat and from age alone. Faulty wiring can result in interruption of service, or worse. Good Vibrations Electric will perform a visual inspection on the wire inside your attic, or underneath your home. We also have the equipment to test the insulation on the wiring in your home. So if the faulty wiring is hiding inside your walls, we’ll find it!
