FAQs
What services are typically included in routine electrical maintenance?
Our routine maintenance packages cover a comprehensive checklist: visual inspection of wiring, panels, and outlets; tightening of loose connections; thermal imaging to detect hot spots; testing of circuit breakers and RCD/GFCI devices; verification of grounding and bonding; cleaning of panels and switchgear; lamp and ballast replacement; and documentation of all findings for your records.
How often should I schedule electrical maintenance for my home or business in New Market?
For most residences, an annual inspection is recommended. Commercial and industrial facilities—with heavier loads and more critical equipment—should consider semi-annual or even quarterly visits. Factors such as building age, load size, and equipment sensitivity may increase the recommended frequency.
Why is routine electrical maintenance especially important in New Market's climate?
New Market experiences high humidity and significant temperature swings, both of which accelerate corrosion and expansion-contraction stress on conductors and terminations. Routine maintenance helps identify moisture intrusion, rust, and thermal stress before they cause faults, outages, or fire hazards.
Will my power need to be shut off during the maintenance visit?
Minor inspections can often be performed live, but any work that involves opening panels, tightening connections, or replacing components requires de-energizing the affected circuits. Our technicians coordinate shutdowns in advance, perform work during off-peak hours when possible, and restore power promptly.
Can routine maintenance reduce my energy bills?
Yes. Loose connections, unbalanced loads, and aging lighting systems waste energy and create excess heat. By tightening terminals, re-balancing phases, and upgrading to high-efficiency lighting during maintenance visits, we typically help clients cut electrical consumption by 5-15%.
Are your electricians licensed and insured, and do you comply with New Market codes?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a valid state journeyman or master electrician license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives ongoing training. All maintenance work is performed to the current National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by New Market and inspected as required.
