Your home’s electrical system can be inspected by a general home inspection company. These companies cover all aspects of residential inspections; from framing and mechanical, to structural and electrical. Over our 15+ years of experience in repairing electrical problems that have been detected by these general home inspection companies, we constantly find that the inspections cover the same basic areas of the electrical system. The areas they cover are limited to receptacles that are not grounded, GFCI receptacles that are missing and more than one wire on a breaker. These items need to be corrected, but the electrical safety inspections are conducted by inspectors with limited knowledge of the electrical trade.

Cross Electric will have a Master Electrician come to your home and completely inspect 100% of your home’s electrical system to ensure that everything is in safe and proper working order. A list of the items that we inspect, include but are not limited to:

• Grounding of the electrical panel

To have one electrical contractor that can professionally handle all aspects of wiring for home additions means that you will save time and money on your home addition project.

Another important thing to remember when wiring for home additions is how the existing wiring in your home will tie into the wiring for the addition. Some wiring, such as phone and cable will need to be connected to the existing wiring in the home to provide an expanded system of  the wiring you already have. Sometimes the high voltage electrical system will need to be extended as well, for such things as lighting and switching locations that connect the existing part of the home to the addition. The remainder of wiring for home additions would be dedicated wiring for the addition alone.

This is a typical plug in electrical tester that can be puchased at any home improvement store. The lights on the front will light up when plugged in to tell you if the receptacle is wiried properly or not.

When you have receptacles not grounded in your home, there is always a potential for electric shock to people. The reason the receptacle and all non current carrying metal parts of an electrical system are grounded is to ensure that if electricity comes in contact with a grounded surface, that the circuit breaker will trip. If your receptacle is not grounded, than that means that what ever you plug into that receptacle is not grounded either.

Cross Electrical Contractors Can provide you with a qualified Maryland electrician to come to your home and inspect any and all devices to ensure that they are properly grounded and safe. If you already know that your receptacles are not grounded, then contact Cross Electric today, and we will be happy to give you a free price quote to repair all your receptacles that are not grounded in your home.

When your receptacles are not working and the breakers in your panel are not tripped; you should check a few things before calling an electrician. This may save you a lot of money. The first thing to do is to see what receptacles are not working. If the receptacles that are not working are in the following locations, you may have a GFCI receptacle that has tripped.

• Bathroom
• Kitchen
• Outdoors
• Garage
• Unfinished basement
• Any area within 6 feet of a sink

Typical GFCI receptacle

A GFCI receptacle is simply a receptacle that will “trip” like a circuit breaker when there is a ground fault. This is to protect personnel from being shocked and injured. The areas listed above  usually  have the receptacles in them protected by a GFCI receptacle. You can feed non GFCI receptacles from a GFCI receptacle and it will be protected. The GFCI receptacle can be identified by the two buttons on the face of the receptacle. One button is marked “test” and the other is marked “reset”

If you find that the receptacles not working, are not related to a GFCI circuit, than please contact Cross Electric today, and we will have a qualified Maryland electrician come to your home to take care of all your electrical repair needs.
