The electrical code and safety awareness has come along way, since the days of Thomas Edison, though there are still remnants of antiquated electrical installations, particularly in the beautiful, historic, Alexandria Virginia area.

Many of the homes our electricians service, in Alexandria, are unfortunately out of code, and in some cases rather unsafe. Just the other day I was servicing a condo in old town Alexandria, and the whole system lacked grounding means. Additionally, the neutral lacked connectivity and found it by way of the panel box itself, creating a fire hazard through embers it was producing, an unclean path to ground for the load, causing an electrical shock potential hazard.

Obviously this is unsafe, and out of code. Yet, there are more subtle electrical problems and faults one would not even think of noticing, but could have serious ramifications, or pose potential danger, including energy inefficiency.

If in doubt, call our professional electrical staff for a service inspection today:
