Prepare Your Electrical System for a Home Inspection
One of the most stressful parts of selling your home can be the inspection. What if it doesn’t pass? What if there are large repairs that need to be made? Prepare your house ahead of time to ensure your house is ready for the examination. Some of the most common repairs you can make ahead of time include:
- Check the outdoor faucets to ensure they have backflow preventers. These make sure that water coming from the outdoor faucet only flows out, eliminating the risk of any contaminated water entering the water supply.
- Test your smoke alarms. Make sure each detector works properly and has new batteries. Also, check to ensure you have the right amount of alarms in your house – typically one on each floor and one outside each bedroom.
- Examine each pipe under a sink or tub to look for leaks.
Make sure your Golden Valley home is safe and up to code. Contact us to learn about our whole house safety inspection services.
Common Electrical Panel Issues in Golden Valley MN
If your electrical wiring starts to malfunction, it’s important to get it repaired as soon as possible. If you leave electrical issues unattended, they can cause damage to your property! Some of the more common issues you might encounter with your unit can include:
Overcrowding
Your home - especially if it’s older - might not have sufficient amps in the electrical panel. This can cause overcrowding that may be due to double-tapped breakers.
Insufficient Capacity
If you experience power surges and flickering lights when you use certain appliances or devices, it can mean that the electrical panel is too small for your home and you need more power.
Corrosion
Any signs of rust, water damage, or other forms of corrosion should be inspected by a professional.
