Safety
Electricity is extremely dangerous, even at small levels. It takes as few as 50 milliamps to cause ventricular fibrillation, a condition which requires a defibrillator to restore a normal heartbeat. At only 200 milliamps the heart is stopped, potentially leading to cardiac arrest.
It is very important for anyone involved with electricity to both respect it and make safety a priority, regardless if the person doing the work is a professional or someone looking to do the job themselves.
Home Inspections
If your home or building has old wiring, your electrical wires and equipment are heating up, or you're just concerned about the safety of your home's electrical system, give us a call. We offer home inspections to determine the safety and quality of your power system. We can check for proper grounding, loose terminations, and even power conditioning problems that can damage your electronics and appliances.
Fire Prevention
Electrical fires are caused by old/worn, overloaded, or improperly installed electrical wires and equipment. Even extension cords and plugs can be a problem.
Signs of an overloaded power system:
- Frequently tripping breakers.
- Wires / switches / electrical components heating up.
- Flickering lights / brown outs.
- Reduced performance of electrical equipment, such as heaters.
