What We Inspect in Madison
- Service panel condition: Age, brand, capacity, and condition — a mix of older panels and more recent upgrades is typical in Madison; Federal Pacific equipment turns up in homes from the 1960s and 1970s.
- Wiring type and condition: Older homes near the historic district may retain knob-and-tube or early cloth-covered wiring; coastal moisture exposure can accelerate deterioration in visible wiring runs.
- Grounding and bonding: Grounding adequacy and bonding continuity reviewed, with attention to corrosion at grounding electrodes and bonding jumpers in properties near salt air.
- Outlet and device condition: GFCI protection in required locations, outlet condition in older portions of the home, and adequacy of circuits in homes where demand has grown with renovations or additions.
- Visible code deficiencies: Improperly spliced conductors, open junction boxes, double-tapped breakers, and similar issues documented in the written report.
Written Report Included
Every inspection concludes with a written report prepared by a licensed CT E1 electrician — not a home inspector. The report documents all findings, identifies code deficiencies, and provides a basis for insurance applications, real estate negotiations, or repair planning. Because PowerPlus is also licensed to perform electrical work, the same contractor who identifies issues can perform any required repairs.
