Everything Included in the On Point VIP Electrical Maintenance Program:
Main Electrical Distribution: The “Heart” of your Electrical System
Main Panel Boards: We examine the Main Electrical Panel/Load Center to ensure that wire connections are securely attached to the break and buss bar. Over time, the screws connecting the wire to the breakers may loosen. We also utilize thermal imaging to detect any overheating issues on the breakers and connections. (Does not include the main overcurrent device)
Surge Protection Assessment: Inadequate surge protection not only puts your electronics at risk but also your HVAC systems, appliances, and other devices connected to your electrical system.
Grounding Verification: Insufficient grounding can cause excess electricity to flow back into the home, potentially damaging appliances and creating electrical hazards.
Electrical System Wiring: The Lifelines of Power
Look out for Backstabbed Connections: Outlets that have been backstabbed may become loose over time and lead to overheating at the back of the outlet, posing an electrical danger.
Inspecting Receptacles: We examine 1-2 outlets per circuit to ensure they are not wired incorrectly, have proper grounding, and are tamper-resistant.
Search for Open Splices in the Attic: Exposed splices in the attic can become loose, potentially causing electric shocks or other hazardous situations.
Safety Testing: Yearly Health Examination
Check the voltage of your AC, furnace, and hot water heater to ensure they are operating at the correct level. Incorrect voltage can reduce the lifespan of your appliances or cause them to malfunction.
Inspect smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are properly connected and working.
Test GFCI outlets to ensure they are functioning correctly, as they are required near water sources. Over time, GFCIs can wear out and may not trip as quickly, so they may need to be replaced if they are not within acceptable ranges.
Check ARC Fault Breakers for proper function and safety.
Inspect and test GFCI breakers to ensure they are working properly and keeping you safe.
