Inspections & Upgrades That Make a Difference
Your home’s electrical system works quietly behind the walls, but it powers nearly every aspect of your daily life — from lighting and charging to cooking, heating, and entertainment. Outdated wiring, overloaded panels, or hidden faults can pose serious safety risks and limit your home’s ability to keep up with modern demands.
At Affordable Electric Handyman, we provide thorough electrical inspections to identify potential issues before they become costly problems. Whether you’re planning to install new appliances, add an EV charging station, or upgrade your home’s electrical capacity, we deliver smart, future-ready solutions tailored to your needs. With a focus on safety, efficiency, and code compliance, you can feel confident your system is built to last.
Electrical Inspections
A detailed electrical inspection is your first line of defense against hidden hazards and costly repairs. At Affordable Electric Handyman, we take the time to thoroughly inspect your system for safety, efficiency, and compliance with current electrical codes.
Our inspections are ideal for homeowners looking for peace of mind, real estate transactions, remodeling projects, or before adding new appliances or electrical loads. We don’t just do a quick visual check — we take a hands-on, diagnostic approach to make sure everything is functioning properly and safely.
Faulty or outdated wiring
We look for aging, damaged, or improperly installed wiring that could cause short circuits or fires.
Overloaded panels
If your panel is working beyond its capacity, we’ll flag it and suggest safe solutions.
Missing GFCI protection
Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas require ground fault protection by code.
Unsafe or loose connections
Loose terminals and improper junctions can lead to overheating or loss of power.
Overall code compliance
We ensure your system meets today’s National Electrical Code standards.
Electrical Installation or Replacement
If your existing electrical components are outdated, damaged, or simply no longer functioning properly, it's time for a safe and modern upgrade. At Affordable Electric Handyman, we handle everything from replacing worn-out switches and outlets to updating entire breaker panels and wiring systems.
We install code-compliant fixtures using top-quality materials and always take care to ensure a clean, professional finish. Whether it’s one device or a whole-house upgrade, we’re ready to help modernize your system for safety, reliability, and efficiency.
Make Room in the Panel (New Circuit Additions)
As your home’s electrical needs grow — whether due to a renovation, new appliance, or EV charger — your panel needs to keep up. If your breaker panel is full or near capacity, we can safely add new circuits or subpanels to make room.
We carefully evaluate your current setup, confirm capacity, and create room for new breakers so your home can support modern power demands without overloading the system. It’s a safe and affordable way to stay current without a full panel replacement.
Panel Load Evaluation & Expansion
Modern homes rely on far more power than they used to. From home offices to electric vehicles and high-efficiency appliances, your panel might be under more stress than it was designed for.
We provide detailed load calculations to determine whether your electrical panel can handle current and future usage. If it’s at or near its limit, we’ll offer clear, safe options — such as upgrading your panel, adding a subpanel, or redistributing load — so you can continue to add power without sacrificing safety.
System Upgrades for Appliances or EV Charging
High-demand appliances like electric dryers, ovens, tankless water heaters, and EV chargers require more than just an available outlet. They need properly sized wiring, dedicated breakers, and in many cases, new 240V circuits.
We handle complete system upgrades for homes preparing to install or support heavy-load equipment. That means evaluating your panel capacity, upgrading wiring and outlets, and ensuring all installations meet code — so your new appliances run smoothly and safely from day one.
