Electrical Issues Can Ruin Deals
Electrical issues are some of the most costly — and potentially dangerous — issues uncovered in any home inspection. In fact, the Canadian Association & American Society of Home Inspectors counts electrical issues as one of the top deal-killers in the home-buying process. Some of the most frequent electrical issues found include: • Undergrounded three-prong plugs • Painted outlets • Double tapping of circuit breakers • Reversed polarity • Improperly modified electrical panels • Knob and tube wiring • Aluminum wiring • outdated or discontinued breaker panels • No GFCI protection Unless the extent of your electrical issues is a burned-out lightbulb, all electrical work should be handled by a licensed professional. Besides being too complicated for most homeowners to handle, electrical repairs pose a huge risk of electrocution and fire. I’ve recommended Joe Voizard Master Electrician and his topnotch team of electricians to many of my clients in the past including for my own personal properties. Not only are they fair priced, but they perform top-quality work, ranging from fixing faulty outlets to completely rewiring older homes to adding new recessed lighting and standby generators etc, The installation of the latest electrical panels including new electrical masts... no project is too big!
