Frequently Asked Questions

    An electrical safety test is like an annual health check for your home or business. It provides our technicians with an in depth look at your entire electrical distribution system.
Our advanced META testing technology allows us the ability to "see" what is going on behind the walls and truly know the status of your electrical safety.
We ensure all electrical wires, systems and components meet safety standards, in addition to detecting potential future hazards. When the test is completed, a report of findings along with other important information is given to the customer.  The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the code that all electricians operate under when examining your home, and defines the parameters for minimum standards across the United States.
