How do I know if I need an inspection?
Was your home built before the 2000s with no or little electrical upgrades?
This is where power is distributed throughout your home, and if something isn’t working properly, it can lead to serious hazards like overheating, circuit failures, or even electrical fires.
We go beyond a simple visual check— Ty Electric uses infrared scanning to detect hidden issues such as overheating breakers, loose connections, and failing components that aren’t visible to the naked eye. This proactive approach allows us to identify potential fire hazards before they become dangerous, ensuring your home is operating safely and efficiently.
From there, we conduct a full-system assessment, inspecting your wiring, outlets, grounding, and circuit loads to make sure your electrical system is up to code and built to handle your home’s power demands. Whether your home is brand new or decades old, an electrical safety inspection gives you peace of mind knowing your family is protected.
Our Inspections take approx 2 hours and you will be provided with a full PDF report on all the electrical in your home.
Cost $525 but for the month of march we are offering $100 off inspections!
Do you have one of these panels?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok Panels (1950s–1980s)
- Major Issue: Breakers fail to trip, leading to fire hazards.
- Risk Factor: Studies show that FPE breakers can fail over 60% of the time, meaning circuits can overheat without shutting off.
- Recommendation: Full panel replacement is strongly advised.
Zinsco/Sylvania Panels (1960s–1980s)
- Major Issue: Breakers can melt onto the bus bar, preventing them from shutting off during an overload.
- Risk Factor: Known to cause electrical fires due to faulty aluminum components.
- Recommendation: Replacement is recommended, as repairs are unreliable.
DNPL (Doucet & Nadeau Plus Ltée) Panels (1970s–1990s)
- Major Issue: Poor breaker design that can lead to loose connections and overheating.
- Risk Factor: Some DNPL breakers have been reported to fail to trip during overloads, increasing the risk of electrical fires.
- Recommendation: If you have a DNPL panel, a thorough inspection is recommended, and replacement may be necessary if issues like overheating or arcing are found.
