Spring cleaning comes in many forms. It's a season to restart, not just our routines, but also our homes. As the seasons change, a few thoughtful electrical checks can help ensure safety, comfort, and peace of mind for the months ahead. It’s a quieter kind of spring cleaning—one that often goes unnoticed.
For this month's expert guidance, we turn to Lance Bosworth, owner and lead electrician of Lancelot Electric. Known throughout the community as your neighborhood electrician, Lance has built his business on reliability, integrity, and genuine care. He’s the kind of professional you call without hesitation and confidently recommend to your grandmother. His work is rooted in long-term relationships, not quick fixes.
Lance suggests starting with the essentials: test smoke detectors and confirm carbon monoxide detectors are up to date and functioning properly. After a winter of heavy use, it’s also wise to ensure your furnace system is in good condition. If your home uses roof de-icing cables, remember to turn them off for the season, and if space heaters were part of your winter routine, take a moment to ensure outlets are secure and in good condition to help reduce fire risk.
While some of these checks are easy to manage on your own, Lance recommends calling a professional for wiring and outlet replacements. Electrical systems often show subtle signs before larger issues arise, and a trained eye can help identify concerns that might otherwise be overlooked—especially in older homes.
Lance approaches every project with care and respect. He prides himself on treating each home as if it were his own. He’s known for noticing issues early and for the thoughtful way he brings them to a homeowner’s attention.
As the seasons change, a few small checks can make a meaningful difference, helping homes remain safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the year.
