"Faulty wiring is a leading cause of house fires. Tom evaluates the panel, wiring, and outlets so you know your home's electrical system is safe and sound."
Electrical problems are among the most dangerous issues a home can hide — and among the hardest for an untrained eye to spot. Tom Cely evaluates the service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding across CSRA homes, flagging the safety hazards and outdated components common in older houses so you can address them before they become a fire risk or a failed insurance policy.
Tom evaluates the main service panel and sub-panels — capacity, breakers, connections, and hazards — along with the visible wiring, outlets, switches, and fixtures throughout the home.
He looks for the red flags common in the CSRA's older housing: outdated or undersized panels, aluminum branch wiring, missing GFCI/AFCI protection, double-tapped breakers, and improper or DIY work. Every finding is documented with photos.
You get a plain-language report on the system's condition and any safety concerns, so you can prioritize repairs or negotiate with facts.
Electrical faults are a leading cause of house fires, and unlike a leaky faucet, a hidden wiring problem gives little warning before it becomes dangerous.
Older CSRA homes often carry outdated panels, aluminum wiring, or decades of amateur additions — issues that can be both a safety hazard and a reason an insurer declines coverage until they're corrected.
An independent electrical evaluation identifies these problems early, when they're cheaper to fix and before they put your family or your coverage at risk.
Buying an older home, one that's been renovated, or one with a history of DIY work is the most common reason — you want to know the wiring is safe before you own it.
Flickering lights, warm outlets or switch plates, frequent breaker trips, or a burning smell are all signs to have the system evaluated now. It's also wise before adding major loads like an EV charger or addition.
Insurers sometimes require an electrical evaluation on older homes, and a documented report helps your coverage move forward smoothly.

Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes from the 1960s-70s, can be a fire hazard at connections if not properly handled. Tom flags it when present so you can have a qualified electrician evaluate and correct it.
The electrical system is one of the four systems in an insurance four-point inspection. Outdated panels or unsafe wiring can lead a carrier to decline or delay coverage until they're addressed.
