Infrared Scan for Electrical Hazard Check in Greater Taunton-Raynham, MA
An infrared scan for electrical hazards is a non-invasive inspection that uses thermal imaging to detect hot spots, overheating connections, or failing components in your electrical system.
These issues often go unnoticed by the naked eye but can signal serious problems, such as overloaded circuits, loose connections, or faulty breakers—all of which pose fire risks.
Here are the instances when you’d need an infrared electrical inspection:
- During a full electrical inspection, especially in older homes.
- Before or after a renovation or electrical upgrade.
- If you experience frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or strange burning smells.
- As part of preventive maintenance, to catch hidden issues before they become costly or dangerous.
Infrared scans are fast, accurate, and help electricians pinpoint problems without tearing into walls or panels.

- FAQ's
- How much does a whole house electrical safety inspection cost?
- A whole house electrical safety inspection typically costs $150 to $400 depending on the home's size and the age of the electrical panel. Cotti Johnson HVAC provides upfront pricing for homeowners in Taunton, Massachusetts and Bristol County before starting any inspection. Larger homes with older wiring in Plymouth County can sometimes take longer to inspect, which may raise the cost slightly.
- What does a whole house electrical safety inspection check?
- A whole house electrical safety inspection covers the main panel, visible wiring, outlets, GFCI protection, and smoke detector wiring to catch hazards before they cause damage. Cotti Johnson HVAC completes most inspections in about one to two hours for homeowners in Taunton, Massachusetts. A written report follows so homeowners know exactly what, if anything, needs repair.
- How soon should I get an inspection after noticing flickering lights?
- Flickering lights paired with warm outlets or a burning smell should prompt a same-day inspection, since these signs can point to a loose connection or an overloaded circuit. Cotti Johnson HVAC offers 24/7 emergency service for homeowners across Norfolk County and Bristol County when electrical warning signs appear. Waiting too long can allow a minor issue to become a fire risk.
- How is a whole house safety inspection different from a home inspection?
- A whole house safety inspection focuses specifically on electrical hazards like panel condition, wiring, and grounding, while a general home inspection covers the whole property at a broader level. Cotti Johnson HVAC performs the more detailed electrical check for homeowners in Taunton, Massachusetts, often after a standard home inspection flags a concern. Both inspections work well together before buying or selling a home.
- Can homeowners check their own electrical safety instead of hiring a pro?
- Homeowners can visually check for warm outlets, tripped breakers, or discolored switch plates, but testing wiring, grounding, and panel load requires tools and training a licensed electrician has. Cotti Johnson HVAC performs full electrical safety inspections for homeowners in Taunton, Massachusetts and Plymouth County using proper testing equipment. A do-it-yourself check can easily miss hidden issues behind walls.
- Does Massachusetts require an electrical safety inspection to sell a home?
- Massachusetts does not always require a formal electrical safety inspection to sell a home, but many buyers and lenders request one, especially for older properties. Cotti Johnson HVAC provides these inspections for homeowners throughout Bristol County and Norfolk County ahead of a home sale. Addressing issues before listing can help prevent delays during closing.
- How often should a home get a whole house electrical safety inspection?
- Most homes benefit from a whole house electrical safety inspection every three to five years, or sooner for homes over 30 years old with original wiring. Cotti Johnson HVAC recommends more frequent checks for older homes in Taunton, Massachusetts and surrounding Bristol County neighborhoods. Homes with recent renovations should also be inspected to confirm the new wiring was done correctly.
- What electrical safety issues are common in older Taunton, MA homes?
- Older homes in Taunton, MA often have outdated fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets, or aluminum wiring, all of which raise fire risk compared to newer copper wiring and breaker panels. Cotti Johnson HVAC identifies these issues during whole house safety inspections for homeowners throughout Bristol County and Plymouth County. Upgrading these systems also tends to improve home insurance rates.
