Electrical Safety Inspections in Raleigh
If you have an older home or notice any issues with your electrical system, contact Wiretech Company. Electrical safety inspections ensure your home is safe against electrical malfunctions. Our inspections in the Raleigh area cover your switches, plugs, light bulbs and connections to make sure your system is operating correctly.

Outdated Home Wiring
If your home was built in the 1960s or 1970s, you may have dangerous aluminum wiring. In comparison to traditional copper wiring, aluminum wiring is more likely to have loose connection points, which can cause house fires. Our home safety inspection will determine if you have aluminum wiring, check specific areas for problems and plan the best course of action, which may include installing AlumiConn connectors or a new electrical system.

We also provide expert code recommendations as needed, especially if your home was built in the 1960s or 1970s, as the home might contain outdated home wiring.
Opting for a home electrical safety inspection can help you know if your home’s electrical system is safe. As a licensed electrical contractor, we can help you determine potential warning signs, such as:
- Flickering lights.
- Warm outlets or switches.

Homes built with aluminum wiring can also contain safety hazards. Compared to copper wiring, aluminum wiring is more likely to have loose connection points, which can cause house fires.
The cost of upgrading a home’s electrical panel depends on the job, which can be influenced by amperage, wiring, labor and permitting requirements. Contact us to get a quote for more accurate budgeting — we offer up-front estimates with no hidden fees before performing any job.
The benefits of replacing outdated wiring include:
- Improved safety and code compliance: Replacing outdated wiring increases safety and code compliance, since older wiring components may no longer be advisable today. For instance, aluminum wiring in older homes may need to be replaced with modern alternatives, such as copper. Aluminum wiring is prone to loosening at connections and overheating, increasing the likelihood of house fires.
- Better performance and durability: Modern wiring alternatives often come with better performance and durability. For instance, copper is more durable than aluminum and is less likely to overheat, reducing the chances of house fires. It is also denser and more flexible than aluminum, reducing the likelihood of wire damage.
- Increased cost-effectiveness: Because certain outdated wiring is a poor conductor of electricity, adopting modern alternatives can be cost-effective. For instance, copper wiring conducts electricity better than aluminum and therefore can handle high currents in smaller wire gauge sizes.
The best way to protect your home from electrical surges is through a whole-house surge protector. It’s installed in a home’s main electrical panel to serve as a shield between the household wiring and incoming utility power. It detects a dangerous voltage spike and diverts excess energy into the ground before it reaches the house’s electrical system. This protector guards every circuit, including hardwired appliances, such as the HVAC system and water heater.
