• For you its the box in the garage that makes everything work. For us its the heart of your electrical system pumping power to the far corners of your home. When was the last time a qualified person took the cover off and looked inside your electrical panel? It probably doesn't even cross the average persons mind that this "may be" a good idea. Why not take this opportunity when the electrician is already at your house. We'll notice violations or hazards and explain what should be done to make corrections. Electricity is an essential component of our lives and easy to take for granted, but also needs to be respected and maintained at regular intervals to remain in peak operating condition.


    What we will be looking for...
    Missing panel blanks
    Missing knock out seals
    Wires without connectors
    Missing locknuts or bonding bushings
    Wrong brand circuit breakers 
    Oversized or undersized circuit breakers
    Double taps
    Incorrect phasing of shared neutrals
    Oxidation or corrosion
    Cracked/damaged or loose circuit breakers
    Main lug discoloration
    Sharp tipped panel screws
    Burnt conductors
    Loose connections
    Water intrusion/rust
