Your home’s electrical wiring is a key part of its infrastructure. To make sure it is in top condition, it is important that you have a professional electrical evaluation performed. If you aren’t sure if your home needs an evaluation, here are four warning signs you can look for to help you determine when you should call HedgeHog Electric for your next evaluation.
A home inspection and an electrical evaluation are not the same things, but most homeowners rely on their initial inspection to confirm that their home is safe. However, not all inspectors have the training to see the potential electrical issues some houses present, from outdated two-prong outlets to upside-down light switches.
While these issues may appear to be quirks of an older home, they can actually represent serious issues. For example, a two-prong outlet indicated older wiring which may not be up to code. As for an upside-down light switch, that can indicate that someone decided to DIY their electrical wiring, which can lead to problems in the future. So, if you have never had a specific electrical evaluation of your home, then it is time to set up an appointment for one.
There is no such thing as a “normal” electrical sound. If you can hear humming or crackling sounds from your electrical circuits, you need to have your home’s electrical work evaluated as soon as possible.
If any of these signs apply to your home, then it’s time to contact HedgeHog Electric. Our professional teams of licensed and insured electricians can check your home over for any issues and make necessary recommendations, protecting your home for years to come.
