Electrical Safety

NOW is the time to have me or another qualified electrician check your electrical panel.  DID YOU KNOW that you are supposed to do maintenance on your electrical equipment regularly?  While this is rarely done in a residential environment, it is recommended annually for commercial/industrial settings due to the larger and longer running loads.  Typically industrial electricians will use infrared scopes for the detection of hot spots, in a residential setting it is more common to merely check that the wires are still properly torqued and that there are no signs of overheating.  I recommend every 5 years that you have have a qualified electrician confirm the torque settings of the connections in your panel.
