Electrical Safety Inspection
Evaluation and inspection over the following Electrical Components:
- Initial Panel Inspection- with the use of thermal imaging camera, we will check the main and sub panels for loose lugs and overheated wires, Check incoming power for proper voltage. All electrical wires and breakers inspected for issues pertaining to overheating and checked for proper sizing.
- Receptacle Inspection- Check for polarity and proper installation. If installed outside, we will check for connection to a GFCI protected circuit and correct cover for damp locations.
- GFCI Receptacle Inspection- Check to make sure unit trips and resets properly. Check for proper installation in all required locations.
- Switch and Dimmers- Check for proper installation (should feel loose) and proper operation. Dimmers should dim lighting without bulbs strobing or turning off prematurely.
- Lighting- visually inspect interior and exterior lighting for proper installation and operation.
- Smoke/CO- visually inspect and test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Maintenance Guarantee
Details & Exceptions
HVAC:
Maintenance: 30-Day Guarantee for maintenance performed. This does not apply for any electrical component failure or refrigerant charge related issue/s as technically these issues can occur at any point in time from surges, storms or natural age and degradation of the equipment. This also does not apply for any cleaning or maintenance related issues that were addressed or recommended for further additional service outside the normal scope of work for a standard maintenance service. Drain lines: Internally run or installed drain lines existing to the home are NOT covered under any warranty guarantee due to limited access to the full run of the drain line. We do not cut any existing drain line as part of our maintenance service. A drain line that needs to be cut or accessed indicates there is a problem that needs to be addressed and properly quoted for accurate remediation. Old fittings and sections of line that we cannot fully access or see is not our liability or responsibility. Any home damage related to existing drain line issues are not our responsibility or liability. We do not use any form of chemicals and positive pressure for drain line remediation or flushing due to liability purposes. All we can ensure, during our maintenance service, is that the drain is flushed and the circuit is flowing at an efficient rate and properly protected for water safety and damage at the time of service.
Electrical:
The Electrical maintenance service is completed using NEC and NFPA standards. Any discrepancies found will be noted on the report. Due to wiring/devices being in inaccessible areas (walls, attics, hidden behind furniture, meter bases, ect.) we cannot inspect, nor can we guarantee the integrity of the entire electrical system. This service includes inspecting wiring and devices that are readily accessible only. Smoke detectors to be checked for manufacture date and recommended for replacement if over 10 years old. If customer requests smoke detectors to be tested during the maintenance service, we will not be held responsible for malfunctioning smoke detectors before or after testing. This service provides a snapshot of the current state of the electrical system and any issues occurring at the time of the inspection only.
