What homeowners should know about inspections, smoke detectors, and electrical safety
What is Electrical Maintenance, and why is it so important? In the last 20 years, I have had the opportunity to work in some of the oldest buildings on the East Coast. Time and time again, there is one very important task that is often forgotten: Maintenance. It is usually a word we stay away from with every car dealer or mechanic wanting to sell a service plan to us. You may have noticed over the last 10 years the rapid increase in electrical fires. Forgotten maintenance can lead to fires. At MK Electric, we are here to help educate you on electrical safety. Did you know that there is a new trend of firefighters becoming Electricians? They know exactly what’s on fire every time they show up! In 2023 alone, the National Fire Protection Association reported nearly 24,000 electrical fires in the United States. Electrical problems don’t go away! Sometimes we have the opportunity to hear our customers’ stories and financial concerns about maintenance. For your peace of mind, we offer financing. We faithfully serve our local communities and churches to love one another.
Did you know smoke detectors also need maintenance? We recommend testing your smoke detectors monthly, changing the batteries yearly, and replacing the detectors every 10 years.
Ready to buy or sell your home? We recommend that a licensed electrician complete a home safety inspection. At MK Electric, we offer a $200 inspection on all electrical equipment. We inspect all smoke detectors, grounding, age of equipment, warranties, and the electrical panel. When purchasing a home, we recommend avoiding a short due diligence period. A short due diligence period can lead to a compressed timeframe, which could hinder the time needed for a proper inspection. Having a licensed electrician do a walkthrough with you very early in the home-buying process can help uncover hidden electrical concerns. Hidden electrical concerns can be very costly. The National Fire Protection Association recommends electrical Maintenance be performed on homes yearly.
At MK Electric, we are your trusted electrical expert because we are passionate about serving our community. We are here to help reduce the risks of fires! Let’s work together as a community and put out these fires for the safety of your family and our loved ones, with the people you can trust.
