WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Walter C.

HAPPY CLIENT

I had Standtech work on two projects for me. I found the price quoted highly competitive with others I sought estimates from. Both of the project I contracted with Standtech for were completed on time and on budget. The work was performed as specified and those who did the work arrived on time, went about their business in highly professional manner, completed the work to my satisfaction and left things neat and clean. I was very satisfied with the work Standtech did on the two projects I hired them for and wouldn't hesitate to hire Standtech again.

Ensuring Code Compliance & Safety Standards

StandTech Electric holds ourselves to the strictest standards, including compliance with all local and national codes dictated by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Our standards ensure our customers' homes are as safe and as reliable as possible, and also protects their investment: by complying with the NEC, our electricians make sure homeowners can sell their homes with minimal trouble.

For homeowners who are buying, selling, or considering a new home, electrical inspections are crucial to a.) understanding what you're getting into, and b.) ensuring a home is safe. Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.

It's also worth noting that older homes might not be up to the most recent codes, as the NEC is constantly improving and iterating. Even if a home is up to code, it may not be suited for the demanding power needs of the average family. With several laptops, smartphones, screens, and other devices for each family member, having reliable power everywhere in the house is vital—an inspection lets you know what you're working with.

Local jurisdictions and code enforcement boards inspect for compliance with the minimum standards, as set forth in code. The extensively trained and licensed technicians at StandTech electrical comply with all local and state codes. Our techs are specifically trained to flag and take corrective action to keep your property and family safe.

- GFCI receptacles are required in bathrooms.
- There must be a receptacle within 3 feet of the outside edge of the sink basin.

General Rooms
- There should be wall receptacles every 12 feet.
- Receptacles should be on any wall space that is more than 24 inches wide.
- Hallways more than 10 feet in length must have at least one receptacle.
Kitchens
- All countertops receptacles must be GFCI (ground fault current interrupter).
- There can be no receptacles more than 20 inches above countertops (Exceptions are for the physically handicapped and for islands or peninsulas where this is not possible).
- There should be receptacles above all countertops that are 12 inches or wider.
- No face-up receptacles.
- At least one receptacle should be located on islands or peninsulas.

Electrical Safety Inspections Can Prevent Electrical Fires & Electrocution Risks

Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes. Fires can start when wires fray or when breaker boxes can’t handle the demands placed upon them. When these things occur, heat transfer to surrounding objects can cause them to smoke or ignite. Arcing is an even more dangerous possibility where the electrical current jumps across connections instead of moving through a circuit. This is essentially a form of lightning and the risk of fire or electric shock is very real. Ungrounded plugs and faulty outlets are also causes of home fires. The best way to stop fires and electrocution from happening is to have your home electric system inspected by a pro.
