How often should I have my electrical system inspected?

Having your electrical system inspected regularly is a crucial aspect of maintaining safety and efficiency in your home or business. Generally, it is recommended to have a professional inspection every three to five years. However, certain circumstances may warrant more frequent inspections. For instance, if you have recently purchased an older property, or if you experience any noticeable changes in your electrical system, such as flickering lights, burning smells, or frequently tripped circuit breakers, you should consider having an inspection sooner. It is also wise to schedule an inspection after significant renovations, added electrical load, or if you notice unusual behavior from your appliances. Ultimately, routine inspections can help detect potential issues before they become serious problems.
