Electrical Inspections are a necessary routine service that is often required by the city to ensure that buildings are in compliance with electrical code. As time progresses, components of an electrical system can become outdated or fail, and these regular inspections help to assure these buildings are kept up to date and safe to the general public. The ESFi reports that there are as many as 51,000 home electrical fires in the U.S. resulting in nearly 500 deaths and $1.3 Billion in property damage every year. An estimated 65% of these deaths are said to be due to malfunctioning smoke detectors. Fire alarms and other life safety systems need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they function properly in the case of an emergency, which is required by code compliance. It is important to have Electrician Lafayette thoroughly inspect your electrical systems to identify potential disruptions and eliminate risks. Our technicians can help to educate our customers on the proper course of action after a detailed inspection. Safety is a number one priority when assessing an electrical system. Every outlet, fire alarm and emergency light must be functioning properly to serve its purpose. Our electricians are trained and experienced in conducting a full in depth inspection of various types of facilities, testing connections and functionality of all installments and ensuring that everything is working properly. There are several tips recommended by ESFi to ensure your building or home is up to standard with electrical code:
  • Have your home routinely inspected by qualified electricians that can diagnose problems and ensure that all electrical work performed in the home or building meets the safety provisions of the NEC (National Electric Code).
  • Install smoke detectors on every level of the facility or home, inside each bedroom and outside of every area that people use for sleeping.
  • Ask a licensed electrician if the facility or home would benefit from installing AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interruptor) protection, especially if the home is an older structure built before 1999. These advanced safety devices are capable of detecting dangerous conditions that can arise that older breakers cannot.
  • Test all smoke detectors and AFCIs within the facility on a monthly basis to ensure proper functionality.
  • Establish a designated evacuation plan that can be implemented during times of emergencies, and practice it routinely.
  • Make sure you are using light bulbs that match the recommended wattage on the fixture they are connected to.
  • In homes with small children, it is recommended to have tamper proof receptacles installed to help prevent electrical shocks or burns.
  • Have a qualified electrician conduct an assessment of your entire electrical system, including any power chords, surge protectors, extension chords and outlets.
  • Keep an eye out for signs of issues such as lights that begin to flicker or dim, circuit breakers that repeatedly trip, or any unusual buzzing from specific lights.
  • Never use extension chords as a permanent installment.
  • Avoid overloading outlets with multiple power strips or demanding electronics.
If any of these types of problems arise, it is important to contact Electrician Lafayette to conduct an electrical inspection and provide you with the easiest solutions.
