INTERIOR ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS
One of the community’s recent preventative maintenance projects has been to have all exterior common area electrical breakers and wiring inspected for needed repairs and maintenance to prevent outages or electrical fires. With all the news reports on television of house fires recently, we want to take this opportunity to remind each of you how important the need for regular inspection and maintenance of your interior electrical wiring and breakers. There are many reputable electrical contractors that are willing to perform free interior breaker inspections so look on the internet or in the newspaper for information being publicized. Remember not to overload a circuit by plugging in too many electrical items in one outlet! Important information to consider when selecting your own provider is to request a copy of their current State licensing and insurance certificate.
