Home Safety

At Speedy Electric we adhere to National and Local Code requirements and permit all appropriate jobs.

Home Inspections: We provide you with a written home inspection of your electrical system. This will alert you to code violations and safety concerns that can be corrected.

Make sure your panel is safe. Have an electrical inspection done by a licensed electrician. Research your panel online. Many older panels are fire hazards. Zinsco panels for example have many websites dedicated to alerting the public on the potential problems. Federal Pacific panels have had many of their UL listings pulled and have class action suits pending. If your panel is rusted, corroded, melted or has signs of overheating, have it checked out immediately.
Never use extension cords for permanent use. They are designed for temporary use only.
Test smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries every 6 months (We recommend hard wired interconnected smoke detectors which comply with today’s code requirements).
Flickering lights could be signs of a major problem or could be something simple. Have a licensed electrician investigate the problem.
Ground fault protection outlets should be in kitchens, bathrooms, garages and outside.
Whole house surge protection in now available at the panel. This protects all electrical components in your home not just computers and TVs.
Have an electrical safety inspection done at least every 3-5yrs. This will alert you to any new National and Local Electrical Code updates.
