10 QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT HOME ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS



#1: Are you Licensed in this Municipality?

Not all states, counties or towns regulate or require licenses for electricians, so it’s prudent to verify the status of your chosen electrician with your local building department. Also ask if electrical work in your municipality must adhere to standards established by the National Electrical Code.

At Clark Electric Company in Alpharetta, we employ only licensed electricians with the highest professional standards, all of whom always comply with the National Electric Code.

#2: Do Circuit Breakers in your Home Trip often or do Fuses keep Blowing?

A home electrical system has these built-in safeguards to prevent electrical overload. Too much current causes the breakers to open automatically or the fuses to melt. When a circuit shuts down repeatedly, it’s a warning that should not be ignored.

Clark Electric Co. of Alpharetta will quickly assess your needs and offer an on-the-spot Free Estimate of your solution.

#3: Are GFCI Outlets Installed Where Required?

The National Electrical Code now requires extra protection for outlets in specific areas of the home, such as kitchens, baths, utility rooms, garages and outdoors. Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)—which are identifiable by their TEST and RESET buttons—are generally required in proximity to wet locations.

If your wiring has not been upgraded with GFCIs, you’re not protected and should call Clark Electric Co. of Alpharetta for your free estimate.

#4: Is it Advisible to Use Extension Cords to Reach Outlets?

Electrical outlets, especially in older homes, are often spaced too far apart for modern living. This not only creates too much demand on too few outlets, it also poses a hazard when the extension cords are run under rugs and furniture. 

Clark Electric Co. in Alpharetta can quickly install new outlets in the most convenient and widely used locations, eliminating the need for bulky extension cords, strengthening your electrical capacity and making routine activities more accessible.

#5: Is there rust on the main electrical service panel?

Even permanent fixtures wear out or suffer the ravages of time. When rust appears on the metal service panel it often indicates a moisture problem or that deterioration has reached an advanced stage.

Clark Electric Co. can help you determine if those old, rusted fixtures represent a hazard, and will help you install new fixtures if necessary.

#6: Do the Lights Dim when Appliances Turn On?

High-demand appliances such as air conditioners, clothes dryers, refrigerators and furnaces need extra power when they start up. This temporary current draw can be more than just a nuisance; it can damage sensitive equipment.

Clark Electric Co. in Alpharetta can install whole house surge protectors to alleviate the stress on your electrical equipment during power surges.  The cost is minimal and the protection and money you could save in the long run is priceless!

#7: Do Electrical Switches or Outlets Feel Warm or Tingly?

Loose or deteriorating electrical connections, such as the wiring junctions in switches and outlets, impede current flow and create resistance. This may cause a dangerous condition that can result in shock or fire.

It is always best to call Clark Electric Co. of Alpharetta to conduct a complete safety inspection of your electrical connections to promote the welfare of you and your family.

#8: Do your Electrical Outlets need Accessory Plug-Strips?

Too many things plugged in at one location can create more current demand than a single outlet or electrical line can safely handle. Adding multiple plug-in strips won’t solve the problem. What you need are additional outlets, and possibly new wiring runs to service them.

If you have multiple plug-in strips throughout your home or business, it is time to call Clark Electric Co. in Alpharetta to free up those floors and put the outlets on the walls where they belong.

#9: Do your Outlets Deny Three-Prong Plugs?

The third, or grounding prong on a typical appliance plug provides an extra measure of safety against electrical shock. Older two-prong receptacle outlets installed in homes before this innovation, may not be adequately grounded and should be upgraded.

Clark Electric Co. of Alpharetta can help!  Call us today and we will switch out your old, outdated receptacles and provide you with modern outlets that will accomodate your modern needs.

#10: Is the Wiring in your Outlet Boxes Old and Crumbling?

If you look at the wiring to your home’s light switches or outlets, do you find wires wrapped in cloth sheathing or bits of black rubber in the electrical box? Very old homes often have antiquated wiring that should be upgraded to ensure your safety.

If you have an older home, or have never updated your home's electrical wiring, Clark Electric Co. of Alpharetta wants to help you become current.  We never try to sell you something you don't need, so it never hurts to have us inspect your home's electrical components and give you a free estimate of any work we feel you need in order to protect your home and your loved ones.
