Proper Grounding
Proper grounding is one of the most critical safety features in your electrical system. It provides a safe path for excess electrical current to dissipate, preventing shock hazards and equipment damage.
What We Check:
Grounding rods connected and properly buried
Grounding wire sized correctly for your system
Grounding connections at panel and outlets
Grounding at water heater and major appliances
Warning: Improper grounding can cause serious electrical shock, appliance damage, and fire. Homes built before 1960 may not have adequate grounding.
FIRE HAZARD
Under-Sized Conductors (Wire Size)
- The Danger: When wires are too small for the load, they generate excessive heat, leading to insulation failure and electrical fires.
- Warning Signs: Discolored outlets, flickering lights when appliances start, and circuit breakers that trip frequently.
- Safety Check: Atlas Electric verifies every circuit's wire gauge against its breaker size to ensure it meets modern safety standards.
