How often should electrical panels be inspected for safety?

Electrical panels should be professionally inspected once a year for safety. Most issues start as loose connections or overheating that quietly worsen, so annual thermal testing and connection checks catch hazards early. If you’ve added high‑demand devices or have an older system, your electrician may suggest shorter intervals, but yearly is a solid baseline. Our team inspects for rust or wear, verifies connections, and uses thermal scanning to find hot spots, then advises repair or replacement as needed. This same expertise is available to homeowners throughout the Daleville area. We also offer a $99 Electrical Safety Inspection; restrictions may apply.

Schedule an inspection sooner if you notice:

• Breakers tripping often
• Warm outlets or cover plates
• A burning or hot electrical smell
• Visible rust or corrosion on the panel

Never remove a panel cover or touch overheated components yourself.
