  • Inspect outlets, cords, and surge protectors for frays, cracks, or signs of overheating.

  • Test GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas to ensure they’re functioning properly.

  • Schedule a panel inspection to confirm it can handle seasonal demand from heaters, lights, and appliances.
