Frequency of Home Electrical Testing:
Electrical issues that require Testing :
Dimming/Flickering Lights:
Lights that dim or flicker indicate a loose/faulty connection that require the expertise of an electrical professionals for the fast detection and resolution necessary to prevent damage/fire.
Repeated Breaker Trips
If redistributing circuit load does not solve this issue, you likely have a short circuit resulting from dangerously exposed/touching wires, broken wires, a loose connection or a ground fault.
Humming/Buzzing from Breakers
Humming/buzzing breakers indicate a faulty breaker that is overloaded and cannot trip. Off it manually, and get a professionals to check and prevent electrical fire.
Outlet Malfunctions
Buzzing and burnt outlets, as well as loose outlets that cannot hold a plug, indicate a very old wiring system in need of attention. Is your home short on outlets, plagued with 2-prong/ungrounded outlets, or frequently tripping breakers? If so, it’s time for an update!
Outdated Wiring
Ancient knob-and-tube and unsafely installed aluminum wiring is extremely dangerous. If you skipped the home inspection at purchase and your house is more than 10 years old, you may need a whole home rewiring for safety.
Overloaded wires
At the time of installation of electric wires, it should be ensured that wires and fuse breaker should be according to the load bear by wires.

To understand the various electrical loopholes that are left by contractors, it is extremely important and necessary to carryout electrical testing.
Many homeowners ignore the precautionary measures that have been detailed in different governmental policies, for different electrical installations.
There are many reasons behind the necessity of getting an electrical testing done. Some of the most common ones are:
- Protection against possible surges: This is a common phenomenon in different regions, especially when there is a storm. Electrical surges can not only ruin your appliances, but can also create short circuits in your house. When the testing is being done, the auditor will check for different points in the wiring that can cause this type of mishap.
- Fire: Many a times it has been seen that an electrical short circuit has been the reason behind a fire breakout in a house. These short circuits are caused by different loose wires in the meter or in the cabling itself. During the testing, the auditor can easily recognize these faults and ask you to rectify them.
- Shocks: Imagine touching an electronic appliance and immediately experiencing a surging electric current in your body. Although the impact may not be that disastrous; however, this could lead to other mishaps easily. Apart from this, the body current in an electronic appliance can easily hamper its performance or can render it completely non-workable. An electrical auditor can catch these faults in the wiring in time to rectify them.
The maximum interval between periodic verifications may be recommended for guidance in the Regulatory Measures Relating to Electrical Safety and Supply under the Electricity Act, 2003 . As per recommendations Testing requires :
When purchasing a home.
When occupancy of a house has changed.
When adding an appliance.
When a home has had a major renovation.
