The Importance of NEC Code Corrections

The safety of your family and home is your top priority. When your home has faulty wiring and malfunctioning components, it’s a serious risk to both. Each year, there are roughly 50,000 electrical fires in American homes, and nearly all of these could be prevented by ensuring compliance with the National Electrical Code. The NEC was adopted by Louisiana in 2020. 

NEC compliance can affect everything from homeowners’ insurance premiums and policy coverage to your ability to sell your home. At Stuart Services, our highly skilled electricians have the up-to-date expertise and training to ensure your electrical system complies with current codes and regulations.

Signs Your Home Needs Electrical Code Corrections

There are plenty of signs to watch for that indicate serious problems with your electrical systems. If you notice any of the following, we recommend scheduling an electrical inspection right away:

• Excessive use of power strips or cords: Using multiple power strips likely means you don’t have enough outlets or are overloading breakers.

• Frequently tripped breakers: This issue can be caused by wiring problems, overloading, or a bad breaker.

• Sparking or buzzing outlets: Loose connections can cause them.

• Unresponsive switches: If nothing happens when you flip a light switch, you may have loose wiring.

• Outlets are hot to the touch: This happens when too much voltage passes through the outlet. There could also be faulty wiring within the casing.

• Flickering lights: Flickering is usually caused by a poor connection or an overloaded circuit. 

• Damaged electrical appliances: Voltage spikes can cause excessive current to flow through the electrical system, damaging electronic components in refrigerators, dishwashers, HVAC systems, and other appliances.
