If you’ve just had electrical work performed on your property, the components need to be examined by a certified professional. The state of Pennsylvania enforces a series of codes and regulations for construction work to ensure that the environment is safe for all who will be present in the vicinity of the building. Just think of what electrical mishaps would occur if there were no standards set in place to prevent them! Electrocution, fires, and explosions would be the highlight of every morning news segment. Thankfully, building owners, friends, and families can feel at ease knowing their electrical work is accurate and secure by confirmation of an experienced and qualified electrical inspector of a third party agency.

At A-1 Electric, we are not just a regular group of electrical contractors in Philadelphia; we also operate as a certified third party agency! Years ago, we obtained our certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry and gained approval from the Commonwealth of PA as an accredited third party agency. Plus, we are also accredited as an electrical inspector. That means that we are the one to call when you need electrical underwriting or inspection performed.

However, to ensure that the electrical elements of the building are not dangerous, trust is super important. We base our entire company around trust, making sure that our work follows core ethical values of the industry. We choose to operate morally so that we can meet the needs of our customers and keep them safe. Unfortunately, there are a number of electrical companies who claim they can perform inspections, but do not contain the proper credentials and certifications set forth by the state. For your protection, we advise that you hire a company that you can trust and depend on to provide you with a knowledgeable and accurate electrical inspection in Montgomery County, PA.

The best inspection service is provided by those who are certified as a third party agency, such as us at A-1 Electric. You can trust us to perform an in-depth examination of your electrical system and provide you with honest results! We provide an unbiased inspection as an approved third party agency by the township. If you are having electrical work done, installing an appliance, or having the system re-wired, give us a call so we can determine if everything was done correctly. Within 48 hours, we’ll provide you with a certificate of compliance that validates your property is safe from hazards. (Of course, if the inspection does not pass, you would have to have another inspection done after the problem is assessed)

We also do inspections for all types of properties, including residential, industrial, and commercial. Remember, trust and safety are the keys to quality electrical inspection. Contact us today to inquire about our inspection service!

Please be advised that if we are hired as an electrician, we cannot also be the inspector, as it would cause confliction between AHJ.

In today’s society, electric is used for practically everything as a way of life, from our televisions and cell phones, to light fixtures and appliances. So when the electric service is interrupted, we lose most of the amenities we take for granted. Dealing with an electrical outage can lead to a discomforting and disastrous situation fast, whether it be in a commercial space, residential dwelling, or industrial warehouse. Projects and operations become delayed while homeowners are faced with a loss of power. Suddenly, life comes to a halt and the only way to restore productivity and comfort is to get the electric turned back on in a fast and timely manner.

But how?

Well, the answer is simple – first, contact your electrical utility company. If the company finds that the service interruption is a customer related issue, you need to get in contact with a reliable and certified team of electrical contractors located in the Philadelphia region. We at A-1 Electric operate with a contracting division that handles electrical emergencies, separate from our third party agency. Whether the power has gone out at 8 am or 3 am, we will arrive promptly to assess the situation with our 24/7 emergency service. It is crucial that a certified electrical company be called as soon as the power goes out so that if the situation is hazardous, it can be handled effectively to return the atmosphere back to a safe environment.

We tackle a wide variety of emergencies such as:

• Power disconnections
• Wiring has been replaced, compromised or repaired
• Troubleshooting
• Violation corrections
• Lot lighting
• Expedited projects
• Storm outages
• Failed equipment
• HVAC system replacement

We are proud to say that we are a trusted electrical service company that is registered by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General as a recognized home improvement contractor. We have the required home improvement contractor number (HIC#), of which we display on all of our estimates and invoices. This credential lets our customers know that we are a reputable and trustworthy electrical company – which means you have one less thing to worry about when it comes to restoring your electric – the knowledge that you are not dealing with an unqualified or sketchy electrical company.

When you contact us for emergency service, our Hi-voltage crews set out to your location using our fleet of bucket trucks, fully equipped and prepared to take on any challenge. You can count on our experienced and knowledgeable contractors to take care of the electrical situation so that you can get back to your normal routine.

Since we are also an accredited third party agency by the Commonwealth of PA, we would not be able to provide electrical work if we are also performing the inspection. However, if we are doing the electrical work as part of the emergency service, we will get in touch with a certified (or other utility company) outside third party agency to have them conduct the inspection. This is especially done if the emergency service entailed a repair, installation, or rewiring and a valid permit from the AHJ is required for the property.

Call us if you have an emergency service that needs to be assessed – we’re here to help!
