CurrentSafe Home Electrical Hazard Protection

Diagnostic Equipment & Services

Today's technology offers unique ways to detect electrical problems in home electrical systems. CurrentSAFE^® uses the following testing equipment and comprehensive services to identify potential electrical fires and shock hazards in residences:

Infrared Thermographic Imaging
Ultrasonic Sound Detection Testing
Ground Resistance Testing
Circuit Analysis Including GFCI & AFCI Testing
AC Voltage & Current Testing

Infrared Thermographic Imaging Services

Feature: Predictive Electrical Fire Hazard Testing

Benefit to Customer: Our certified thermographers perform infrared inspection services at the main electric service, service panel(s), electric devices and all electrical equipment inside and outside the home. By using this Infrared thermographic equipment, we can identify electrical problems that are causing overheating due to "bad connections", "manufacture defects", "overloaded circuits" and "poor or loose splices".

Ultrasonic Sound Detection Testing

Feature: Ultrasound changes provide early warning of potential electrical fire hazards.

Benefit to Customer: The Ultraprobe senses high frequency sounds produced by electrical discharges such as "Corona", "Tracking" and "Arcing" that normally cannot be heard with the human ear. The ultrasonic detector electronically translates these signals into an audible range so that a trained technician can hear these sounds through a headset and see them as intensity increments on the meter. Heterodyning works the same as a radio in that it accurately transforms the sounds so that they are recognized and diagnosed on the spot.

Ground Resistance Testing

Dual Features: Identify grounding system deficiencies to reduce shock hazards and also identify "electric to ground shorting" throughout the whole house grounding system.

Benefit to Customer: Without a proper grounding system the circuit breakers and fuses may not sense an electrical "short" and open the circuit when needed. Having a secure ground path will reduce the risks of electrical shock and electrical fires.

Using special "Ground Resistance" testing equipment we can verify that your ground system is still in tact and operating properly.

Circuit Analysis Including GFCI & AFCI Testing

Triple Feature:

"The only test tool that looks behind walls for performance and safety!" We check for proper wiring conditions, voltages at outlets, available short circuit current at outlets, impedance values and voltage drop measurements.

Benefit to Customer: With this information we can now make a distinct determination if loose connections or faulty wiring exists behind the walls.
Verifies proper operation of GFCI outlets and breakers.

Benefit to Customer:

Confirm AFCI operation.

Benefit to Customer: AFCI breakers sense low resistance in circuits that can be causing fire related issues. Current code requires new homes to have AFCI breakers protecting bedroom and sleeping areas. Verifying proper operation is critical for reducing fire risks in sleeping areas.

AC Voltage & Current Testing

Feature: Analyze & document "Voltage" and "Current" levels at the main panel to identify overloaded circuits and voltage problems.

Benefit to Customer: Many homeowners are concerned of having "overloaded" circuits in their home. During our service we ask the homeowner to turn on lights, appliances and other electrical devices throughout the home. We then use our True RMS - AC "Voltage" and "Current" testing equipment to identify actual amperage loads and voltage conditions.
