Maintenance begins with a full load calculation and thermal scan of the service panel. In older College Hill and Delano homes, we often find aluminum wiring or undersized neutrals that overheat during humid summer peaks when air conditioners run nonstop. We torque every breaker and neutral bar to manufacturer specs and check for signs of arcing before resealing the panel against dust and moisture that blows in during Sedgwick County storms.
Ground-fault and arc-fault protection testing comes next. Properties near the Wichita Art Museum or in Eastborough frequently have GFCIs installed decades ago that no longer trip within the required 25-millisecond window. We replace them with weather-resistant units rated for the area’s humidity and verify that AFCI breakers protect bedroom circuits as required by current Kansas-adopted code. Any shared-neutral issues discovered during this step are corrected before we leave.
We finish by inspecting exterior lighting, ceiling fans and surge protection. Tornado-risk season brings power surges that fry electronics; a whole-house SPD installed at the panel plus point-of-use units in sensitive rooms gives layered defense. After every visit we leave a written report noting any code deviations and recommended follow-up so owners in Planeview or Old Town know exactly what was checked and what still needs attention.
