Electrical Safety Inspections in Wood Dale, IL
Find Out If Your Home Electrical System is Safe
According to the National Fire Prevention Association, faulty electrical systems cause over 30,000 residential fires a year, and fires are not the only hazards an unsafe system can cause. Other big issues, like wasted electricity or electrocution, are possible with aging electrical wires, outlets, and equipment. That’s why it’s so important to get a home electrical inspection to know if your current home is up to code and operating safely and efficiently.
How Often Should You Get Your Electrical System Inspected?
Most electrical systems are built to last around 20 years, depending on the quality of the parts used and the quality of the installation. However, not all homes age at the same rate, so life expectancy can vary greatly. That's why we recommend yearly inspections to keep you informed and aware of any changes in your system. We also recommend getting an inspection if you’re buying or selling a home to make sure everything is ready for new residents.
Powertron Electric can help you with a full home electrical inspection to assess your electrical system's condition and determine if it’s safe and up to date. If it’s not, we can upgrade your wiring, outlets, electrical panels, and more to keep your home functioning properly and safely.

Safety Issues Are More Common Than You Think
Our electricians find a lot more faults and violations through our inspections than you’d think. Most household electrical components are hidden inside walls or otherwise out of sight, making it hard for customers to spot issues until they encounter noticeable problems with their electrical system's more visible aspects.
The biggest home electrical inspection concerns are:
- Fire hazards from faulty wiring: Faulty wiring is a leading cause of residential fires, so it’s important to have your home’s electrical system checked periodically by professionals.
- Electrical shock hazards: Improperly installed or damaged electrical features can increase the risk of electric shocks, which can be fatal. Regular inspections help identify and fix any potential hazards.
- Outdated appliances and fixtures: Older appliances and lighting fixtures may not meet current safety standards, putting your home at risk. An inspection can reveal any outdated features that need replacement.
- Hidden issues: Many electrical issues are invisible to the untrained eye but can cause significant problems if left undetected. A thorough inspection from our trained technicians can uncover hidden concerns before they escalate.
