Steps to Take After a Failed Home Electrical Inspection

28Jun2023

If you’ve recently undergone a home electrical inspection and were notified that your home was not up to code, there’s no need to panic. However, there are some crucial steps to take to ensure the safety of your home and loved ones, while at the same time addressing any issues to get your home back on track to meet all the required safety standards.

In this article, we’ll explain what steps to take after a failed electrical inspection so that everything goes smoothly from that point forward.

Understand the Findings: The first step is to carefully review the inspection report and understand the specific areas that failed to meet the requirements. The report should provide a detailed explanation of the issues and recommendations for resolving them. If there are any terms or concepts you don’t understand, don’t hesitate to seek clarification from a licensed electrician or inspector.
Hire a Qualified Electrician: To address the problems identified in the inspection, it’s crucial to hire a qualified electrician. Look for a reputable electrical contractor who is licensed, insured, and experienced in residential electrical work. They will have the expertise to accurately assess the issues and provide effective solutions. Of course, we at Turn It On Electric would be happy to assist with any of your electrical needs in a situation like this
Prioritize Repairs: Once you have chosen an electrician, work with them to prioritize the repairs. Some issues may require immediate attention due to safety concerns, while others may be less urgent. Discuss your budget and timeline with the electrician to develop a plan that suits your needs. By addressing the most critical problems first, you can ensure the safety of your home while managing the costs effectively.
Obtain Multiple Quotes: It’s always a good idea to obtain multiple quotes from different electricians before proceeding with the repairs. This will give you a better understanding of the costs involved and help you make an informed decision. Remember, the cheapest option may not always be the best, so consider the electrician’s reputation, experience, and customer reviews alongside the price. Take a few minutes to learn the most important questions when hiring an electrician.
Schedule the Repairs: Once you have chosen an electrician and received a quote, schedule the repairs at a convenient time. Depending on the complexity of the issues, the repairs may take a few hours or several days to complete. Be prepared to make alternative arrangements during the repair process if necessary, such as temporarily relocating to another part of your home or staying with a family member or friend.
Retest and Obtain Certification: After the repairs have been completed, request a reinspection to ensure that all the issues have been resolved. Once your home passes the reinspection, you will receive a certification stating that your electrical system meets the necessary safety standards. This certification is important, as it may be required for insurance purposes or when selling your home in the future.

As you navigate through the process of addressing the failed electrical inspection, it’s essential to remember that your safety and the safety of your family should always be the top priority. By promptly addressing any electrical issues and working with qualified professionals, you can ensure a safe and secure home environment.

Remember, electrical inspections are crucial for identifying potential hazards and maintaining the integrity of your electrical system. To further expand your knowledge about electricity and electrical safety, visit the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) website (link: https://www.esfi.org/). They offer a wealth of resources and information to help you stay informed and make informed decisions about your home’s electrical system.

In conclusion, a failed electrical inspection is not the end of the world. By understanding the findings, hiring a qualified electrician, prioritizing repairs, obtaining multiple quotes, scheduling the repairs, and retesting the system, you can successfully address the issues and ensure the safety of your home. Take action promptly, and soon your electrical system will be up to code. If you need help or advice along the way, feel free to contact TIO Electric

Avoiding Electrical Injuries

27Apr2023

Today’s homeowners are smarter because of the internet. How-to videos and procedures are only a click away but DIY (do-it-yourself) homeowners usually avoid electrical projects because of the risks. Here’s what you need to know about protecting your family and avoiding electrical injuries.

DIY Electrical Injuries

Completing an on-your-own project at home feels good. However, working with electricity is usually beyond the average homeowner’s skill level. Electricity is unpredictable. There are 400+ electrocutions and more than 4,000 electrical injuries every year in the United States. Most electrical injuries involve shocks or burns.

The majority of home improvement projects aren’t electrical, but they almost always involve working with electricity. The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) says 15% of electrocutions are related to consumer products and wiring hazards.

Follow these safety tips before tackling any DIY project:

Don’t undertake any home improvement project that is beyond your skill level or dangerous. Smart DIYers know when to call a professional.
If your DIY project involves electricity, don’t touch plumbing or gas pipes.
Learn about your home’s electrical system. In addition to property-specific information (common electrical installations the year your home was built), familiarize yourself with:
- Electrical service panels
- Extension cords
- Home wiring systems
- Outlets and receptacles
Take special care when working with power tools and exposed electrical wiring. Eight percent of consumer product-related electrocutions each year are attributed to electrical accidents with:
- Drills
- Hedge trimmers
- Sanders
- Saws
- …and other electric power tools
Turn off the power to the circuit you’ll be working on if you attempt any electrical project. Then test the wires to make sure the power is off.
Unplug appliances and electrical devices you’ll be working on.

Power Tools & Electrical Safety

Never use power tools without GFCI protection. Other electrical safety tips for using power tools are:

Avoid using power tools with extension cords longer than 100´.
If your power tool trips a safety device, stop. Take the tool to a repair center.
Know where electrical wires are located before cutting/drilling into walls.
Read the manufacturer’s instructions before operating a wet/dry vac or pressure washer.
Use tools with insulated grips.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. (You wouldn’t mow your lawn barefoot…) Make sure you have:
- Dust masks
- Gloves
- Safety goggles
- …and all safety gear recommended by the manufacturer
When using power tools for cutting and drilling, know where plumbing pipes are located behind walls/under flooring.

May Is Electrical Safety Month: Protect Your Family From Electrical Risks

You never think about sappy sayings like “Home is where the heart is,” until something catastrophic happens – and it hits you where you live. Protecting your family from electrical risks is a priority.

Be sure to teach your kids:

Ask an adult for help using new electronics.
Don’t climb trees near power lines.
Don’t fly drones/kites near power lines.
Don’t plug too many things into one power strip.
Don’t put fingers/objects into outlets.
Don’t touch outdoor transformer boxes.
Don’t use electronics near water or with wet hands.
Don’t yank cords to unplug them.

There are also electrical safety websites and books, especially for children.

Always keep electrical appliances like hairdryers, toasters, coffeemakers, etc. unplugged and out of children’s reach. Turn It On Electric pros have home protection ideas for your family.

Ask us about:

Adding/moving electrical outlets
How to secure power cords
Installing a residual current device (RCD) safety switch
Minimizing extension cord use
Repairing/replacing damaged outlets, receptacles, and frayed wiring
Wiring insulation

Our most important electrical safety tip for May is to stay away from DIY electrical projects and contact TIO Electric. We welcome your questions!

5 Things To Do Before You Call an Electrician

27Apr2023

When you contact tech support for help with your laptop or iPhone, the first thing the specialist asks is, “Did you turn it off and turn it back on?” If an electrical appliance or a light fixture is problematic, that’s the first thing you do before you call an electrician. Turn it off and turn it back on. If there are no signs of danger (burning, etc.), unplug it. Plug it back in.

Here are 5 additional steps to take before you call an electrician.

1. Troubleshoot the Outlet Before You Call an Electrician

The most frequent electrical issues are problems with outlets. To troubleshoot an outlet that isn’t working:

Check the circuit breaker – A tripped breaker will probably show the switch halfway between off and on. Flip it to the off position and reset the breaker, then flip it back on. If you see signs of visible damage, the breaker box is warm to the touch, or you smell burning wires, turn the breaker box off. Call an electrician.
Check the fuse box – Common signs of blown fuses are discoloration and melting. Be sure to use the right fuse to replace the blown fuse.
Examine the outlet itself – It’s not uncommon for an outlet to burn out. If you see signs of discoloration around the outlet, a small fire may have occurred. This is dangerous and it’s time to call an electrician to replace the outlet.
Flip a switch – A half-hot outlet is one in which one plug is always on but the other plug-in only works if you flip a nearby light switch.
Reset the GFCI – Ground fault circuit interrupters are designed for safety. If a GFCI outlet detects a power surge or short, it can shut itself off to protect you. There are two buttons located between the plug-ins. The red button is the reset button. Push it to get the outlet working again.
The black button is a test button. To check that any GFCI outlet is working properly, push the black button. The plugged-in appliance should turn off, so then you reset it. If you press the black button and the appliance doesn’t turn off, there’s a problem with your GFCI outlet and you should call an electrician.

2. Check the Appliance, Electronic

Your problem may not be with your home’s electrical system. The obvious thing is to make sure your appliance or electronic is securely plugged in. If it is, unplug the non-working appliance and plug another into the outlet. If the outlet works fine with another device, it’s not an outlet problem.

If it’s a light or lamp, it could be the bulb. Years ago, you could visually spot a blown lightbulb. To check it today, you’ll need to insert a new lightbulb. If the new bulb doesn’t work, check it by inserting it into another fitting. If it works in another fixture, it’s time to call your electrician.

3. Problematic Power Outages

When your neighborhood loses power, you simply wait it out or revert to whole-house generator power. But if it’s just your house, check the circuit breaker. It has a safety switch. If it’s flipped off, reset it. If it keeps tripping, there’s a problem with the electrical circuitry or the panel itself. If your home has a fuse box, it can be several issues. (Call an electrician and consider upgrading to a circuit breaker box with protective safety switches.)

4. Feel The Walls

If you have any electrical outlet or switch problems, feel the walls around the area. If the nearby wall feels warm to the touch, this is an electrical emergency.

5. Unplug

Most new homes today can accommodate the additional electrical demands, but not-that-much-older homes can be overwhelmed by power requirements. Let’s say every member of the household is plugged-in, charging, washing/drying, the dishwasher is running, all lights are on, and your hairdryer blows the circuit. Your power outage can be managed by unplugging a few things. Later, ask your electrician what can be done to safely manage and eliminate power overloads.

Any time you have questions about home electrical problems, contact Turn It On Electric.

How Often Do I Need an Electrical Inspection?

30Oct2022

Some people say they miss “the good old days” when times were simpler. Today’s technology has us doing more faster, and it can be either overwhelming or exciting. There’s nothing simple about how much and how often we use electricity. An electrical inspection every year can tell you what your home needs today and even tomorrow.

Electrical Inspections for Safety, Upgrades

When buying a home, especially an older house, scheduling an electrical inspection is a good idea. A home’s wiring can and should last many years, but its insulation can crack with age and expose wires.

Electrical panels have an expiration date. If it’s between 20-40 years old, it’s time to plan an electrical panel replacement.

If you’re planning any major remodeling project, an electrical inspection can prevent hazards and pinpoint problem areas. Also, major renovations require permits, and your licensed electrician can make sure your wiring is installed safely as well as code-compliant. Remodeling is a good opportunity for updating and/or reconfiguring your home’s electricity.

Your home is probably your largest asset, so professional maintenance is a good investment. It not only increases your property value, but it can also give you a competitive edge in a buyers’ market. Routine electrical inspections in Arizona should be scheduled every year. Electrical maintenance can also save energy, which saves money by lowering your monthly utility bill.

3 Signs You Need an Electrical Inspection Now

Your electrical system is designed for protection. There are warning signs that indicate a problem, and some problems are more dangerous than others. Signs you need to schedule an electrical inspection right away include:

Burning odor – A burning smell near any of your outlets, switches, or the circuit panel box is a major red flag. Your local electrician should be contacted immediately.
Heat – If plug-in outlets, switches, or switch plates feel warm to the touch when you plug in or turn them on, there’s likely a wiring problem. If they feel warm when not in use, that’s an even bigger red flag. Schedule an electrical inspection as soon as possible.
Noise – A humming, buzzing sound from any electrical outlet or switch indicates a loose connection or dangerous wiring problem.

Lesser issues that also pose dangers are flickering lights and a circuit breaker that frequently trips off and on. When you plug anything in, it’s not normal to see sparks. It could be the appliance or the outlet, but you need to have it checked out.

If you’re using extension cords in almost every room, that’s another red flag. It means you don’t have enough outlets to support your energy use. Extension cords are great as temporary fixes. But they also offer inconsistent connectivity and pose fall risks to family and visitors.

What Happens During an Electrical Inspection?

If you have noticed any problems during customary electrical usage, your local licensed electrician will examine those areas first. Other tasks during an electrical inspection may include checking for:

Aged/deteriorating wiring
DIY (do-it-yourself) wiring
Electrical risks
Exposed wires
Light fixtures/sockets
Outdated circuitry that doesn’t meet today’s codes
Powerbox integrity
Power points
Safety switches
Smoke alarms
Sufficient service
Uncovered wiring
…and more

A reputable electrician is licensed. But thanks to the internet, you can spot electrical service companies’ red flags as easily as the ones in your home.

Look for 5-star Angi/HomeAdvisor ratings. Look for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)-certified electrical professionals. And if you’re looking for knowledge, experience, and superior customer care, contact Turn It On Electric.

I called TIO Electric because a friend referred them and they did not disappoint. I had an issue and it was rough identifying the source of the problem. Miguel and Conrad worked together to identify and solve the problem quickly. As a services based business it was extremely important to get the repair done quickly and the team stayed to ensure the job was done before they left. I expected to have to schedule another visit due to the complexity of the case, but they understood I needed to be back up and running as soon as possible and got the job done in just a few hours. They were very professional and personable and the cost was in line with what I expected.Update 8/14/24: TIO helped me again. This time with an issue I was having at my home. Marcus was very nice and knowledgable and was able to identify the problem and make the repair in quick time. I had a secondary issue I wasn't too worried about, but Marcus took care of that as well. These guys know what they're doing. Still highly recommend.They did a great job. I would definitely recommend them for projects big and small.
