Electrical Safety Inspections in Johnson County, KS

Bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor outlets should all have GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets for safety. Another common safety hazard we encounter during residential safety inspections is two-pronged receptacles, which lack a third prong that safeguards against wire shorts that could cause electrical shocks. Additionally, many electrical panels or breaker boxes are outdated and pose a fire hazard.

Overland Park Electrical Issue FAQs

Check out some of our Overland Park electricians’ answers to some of the most common FAQs we encounter on a weekly basis related to both commercial and home electrical repairs.

Can I DIY My Overland Park Home’s Electrical Repairs?

Homeowners often spot electrical issues due to daily use. Many “resourceful” individuals may claim they can fix it themselves, but most lack the qualifications. Licensed Electricians undergo years of training and certification. While a license may seem simple, it can save lives. As a safety measure, we recommend using licensed electrical contractors.

Is My Home’s Electrical Wiring Up-To-Date?

The majority of homeowners and local home inspectors cannot always easily identify the age of electrical wiring. It often takes a trained and licensed electrician to properly do this. In general, if your home was built between 1920 and 1960, the wiring that was used can have a tendency to dry rot and cause problems. If your home falls in the age range, and you have not had an inspection in the last few years, we recommend you schedule an inspection to determine if your home’s wiring is up-to-date.

Why Do My Electrical Fuses Blow and Breakers Trip?

This usually happens when you have overloaded the circuit with things like; air conditioners, TVs, microwaves, fans, toasters, heaters, etc. It does not always matter how big your service is, these issues usually have to do with a branch circuit, which is from the breaker box to the problem device.

What’s The Difference Between a Fuse and a Circuit Breaker?

Fuses and circuit breakers both essentially perform the same electrical function in your home, which is disrupting the flow of electricity when a fault is sensed. A fuse will have to be replaced once it has tripped, whereas a circuit breaker won’t need replacement. It is for this reason that circuit breakers are more commonly used in homes throughout the KC metro.

Who’s Responsible for the Electrical Meter Box Outside?

Simply put, Yes, as the homeowner or property owner, you are definitely responsible for the meter box and the connection to your property from the electric company’s equipment. If you suspect that either might be damaged, we recommend contacting a licensed Overland Park electrical contractor to perform an inspection.

Why Do My Lights Occasionally Flicker?

This is a common issue, and you may need more branch circuits throughout the house, or you may have loose connections in the breaker box, meter box or throughout the house. This is dangerous and could cause a potential fire, making it definitely worthy of calling a licensed electrician to schedule an inspection as soon as possible.

Why Do My Outlets or Light Switches Feel Hot to The Touch?

If you reach for your light switch to turn it off, only to find that it is hot to the touch, you definitely have a problem. This is not normal, and it often indicates that there are serious issues hiding in the electrical wiring or electrical setup behind your walls. Call an electrician to inspect this thoroughly or you could end up facing a home electrical fire in the future.

What Are GFCI Electrical Devices?

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) devices are required in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, garages, and outside. These are life-saving devices against electrical shock. GFCIs are residual-current devices, or residual-current circuit breakers, that quickly break an electrical circuit to prevent serious harm from an ongoing electric shock, making them a safer option.

Why Do My Home or Business’s Light Bulbs Burn Out So Fast?

There are often several possible reasons, it could be the quality of the lamps you are using or the house could be at the high-end voltage of the electric service on your street. Also, make sure you are using the correct light bulbs recommended for your lamp type.

What Are Arc Fault Breakers? Do I Need Them?

Arc fault breakers monitor the current and discriminate between normal and unwanted arcing conditions. Arc fault breakers are primarily designed to protect against electrical fires caused by “arcing”. Several years ago, the electrical code was updated and requires us to install arc fault breakers in the house wherever there are new lines being installed, except for where GFCI devices are required (kitchens and bathrooms). We recommend arc fault breakers, as they are generally regarded as a beneficial technology and help the electrical safety of your home or business.
