At Amps & Volts Electric, our inspection process follows a thorough and comprehensive plan that includes critical evaluations and checks of key components and features. This multi-step plan ensures that our technician gives the proper attention to each area of concern.
Our inspection process is as follows:
- Initial consultation: We will discuss your concerns and explain the inspection process before we begin.
- System review: We examine your electrical panel and any subpanels, wiring, and fixtures to identify any visible signs of wear and tear or other potential hazards.
- Diagnostic tests: We use specialized technology to find loose connections, weak circuits, and other hidden issues.
- Functionality checks: We test critical components like GFCIs (ground-fault circuit interrupters), AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters), circuit breakers, and surge protectors for electrical fault response.
- Code compliance verification: We check your electrical system for compliance with local requirements as well as the National Electrical Code and identify any areas needing a violation removal.
- Safety inspection: We evaluate all safety-related electrical components like smoke detectors and emergency lighting.
- Comprehensive report: After the inspection, we compile a detailed report that outlines our findings, provides a clear explanation of any issues discovered, and recommends corrective actions.
If the inspection reveals the need for repairs or upgrades, we offer follow-up support and schedule any necessary services in Valparaiso, Portage, Porter County, and beyond.
