When you walk in the door of your home at night, you expect to be relatively safe and comfortable. It is a very scary thing to think about your home holding hidden dangers that put you and your family’s life in jeopardy. Nobody likes to think about what it would be like to escape a burning house or to lose all of your possessions in a home fire. Some fires cannot be prevented. However, an electrical fire can be prevented with a little awareness. Your Miami electrician, like those at Elcon Electric, can help you uncover any secrets that may be hiding in your electrical system and putting the safety of your home and family at risk.
Hard-Wired Smoke Detectors
Hard-wired smoke detectors will be installed by an electrician. Miami homeowners will appreciate the fact they don’t have to be worried about dead or missing batteries in their smoke detectors. The hard-wired smoke detectors are wired directly to the main electrical in your home. This way they are always on. They are all connected. When one sets off an alarm, they will all alert.
Electrical Inspection
An electrical inspection is that peek behind the walls that you need for your own satisfaction. An electrician in Miami will do a check to see what kind of wiring you have in your home and the condition. Any problems or recommendations the inspection reveals will allow you to make a decision about what work you want to proceed with.
GFCI Outlets
GFCI outlets are the standard in kitchen and bath areas for new home construction. The outlets are designed to trip the breaker should the circuit be interrupted. If there is a problem with the cord or if water splashes on the appliance, the breaker will trip, eliminating the risk of electrocution.
These are just some of the options you have to make your home a little safer. Give Elcon Electric a call today and schedule your electrical inspection so you can sleep a little better tonight.
