🎙️ “Are AC and Lights on the Same Circuit? Here’s Why That’s a Problem!”
This episode explains why an air conditioner and lights should not share the same circuit and how that can cause issues.
It describes how breakers in a panel alternate between two legs (odd slots on one leg, even slots on the other), creating the split 120/240V arrangement that determines which loads share a leg.
As a practical fix, the host suggests checking breaker positions and, when safe and appropriate, flipping or rearranging breakers to move loads onto separate legs to avoid overloads and resolve problems.

🎙️  Is Your Electrical Panel a Ticking Time Bomb? ⚡️🏠
Most homeowners don't think about their electrical panel until the lights flicker or a breaker won't stay reset. But with modern appliances and gadgets, your old panel might be struggling to keep up—or worse, it could be a safety hazard.
In this episode of The Check A Pro Radio Show, host Jim Klauck sits down with Kevin Lipps, owner of Lipps Electric. Kevin answers the critical question: "Is my electrical panel up to code?" and explains what you need to look for to keep your home safe.
🔍 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The "Outdated" List: Kevin identifies specific brands (like Federal Pacific and Zinsco) that are notorious for failing to trip and causing fires.
Warning Signs: How to tell if your panel is overloaded, from warm cover plates to strange humming noises.
Code Compliance: What the current National Electrical Code (NEC) requires for modern homes, including AFCI and GFCI protection.
The Power Gap: Why a 100-amp service might have been enough in the 1970s, but why 200-amp is the new standard for today's EV chargers and high-efficiency HVAC units.
Don't guess when it comes to your family's safety. Tune in to hear Kevin's expert advice on when to repair and when it’s time for a full panel upgrade!

Most homes today rely heavily on electricity, making electrical safety a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of home maintenance. In this informative episode, electrical expert Kevin Lipps highlights the alarming risks associated with faulty electrical outlets, including electric shocks, circuit overloads, and fire hazards. With over 28,000 electrical fires reported annually, ensuring your home's electrical system is up to code and safely maintained is imperative.
Kevin emphasizes the importance of professional inspections and maintenance to prevent hidden dangers like arcing and loose wiring that could lead to catastrophic outcomes. He also discusses the impact of modern electrical loads, such as electric vehicles and additional heating, on existing systems and the necessity of upgrading them to handle increased demands safely.
Discover why regular electrical system check-ups should be part of your home's routine maintenance, alongside plumbing and HVAC systems. Kevin shares insights on how proactive measures and continuous code updates can safeguard your home and loved ones from unexpected electrical mishaps.
 
The Hidden Dangers of Faulty Electrical Outlets – What Every Homeowner Should Know
When was the last time you paid attention to the condition of your electrical outlets? If you're like most homeowners, probably not recently. But those small, often overlooked sockets on your walls can be hiding serious hazards—especially if they're outdated, damaged, or improperly installed.
Here’s why faulty electrical outlets are more than just a nuisance—they’re a potential danger to your home and family.
🔥 1. Fire Hazards
Loose wiring, worn-out contacts, or overloaded circuits can lead to sparks, overheating, and eventually electrical fires. According to the National Fire Protection Association, electrical distribution systems are one of the leading causes of home structure fires.
Warning Signs:
Discoloration or burn marks around outlets
A warm or hot outlet cover
Frequent circuit breaker trips
⚡ 2. Electrical Shock
Outlets with loose or exposed wiring can deliver a dangerous shock—especially to curious children or pets. A damaged outlet may also short circuit when you plug something in, potentially causing injury.
🛠️ 3. Device Damage
Faulty outlets can send inconsistent voltage, damaging electronics and appliances like computers, TVs, and refrigerators. That “cheap” outlet could cost you big in repairs or replacements.
🔌 4. Overloaded Circuits
Too many devices in one outlet, especially in older homes, can trip breakers or lead to permanent damage to your wiring system.
🧰 5. DIY Repairs Can Backfire
Electrical work isn’t a safe DIY project. Without the right tools and training, you could make the problem worse—or put yourself at risk of injury. Trust a licensed electrician to handle repairs the right way.
🏠 Final Thoughts: Be Proactive, Not Reactive
If your outlets are showing signs of damage—or if they’re more than 20 years old—it’s time to call in a pro. Don’t let a preventable issue become a disaster.

⚡🏠 NEW PODCAST EPISODE ALERT! 🎙️✅
"Why Lipps Electric Charges A $79 Service Fee — And Why That's Actually Great News For You!"
Here's something refreshing in a world where hidden fees and surprise invoices have become the norm — a home service company that tells you exactly what things cost before anyone ever knocks on your door. 💪💰
On this episode of the Check A Pro Radio Show, Jim Klauck sits down with Kevin Lipps of Lipps Electric in Ohio for one of the most honest and straightforward conversations the show has ever had about what it really means to run a transparent, integrity-driven home service business in today's world! 🎙️⚡
💡 Here's The Deal — And It's Simpler Than You Think:
When you call Lipps Electric, they will tell you upfront — clearly, confidently, and without hesitation — that there is a $79 service fee for a licensed technician to come out to your home. 🔧✅
No guessing. No vague estimates. No "we'll figure out the price when we get there." Just honest, clear communication from the very first phone call. 📞💬
🤔 So Why Does Lipps Electric Charge A Service Fee?
Kevin breaks it all down for listeners 👇
🚗 It Costs Real Money To Send A Professional To Your Door A licensed, insured, trained electrician doesn't appear at your home by magic. There is a vehicle, fuel, insurance, tools, time, and overhead behind every single service call — and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. The $79 fee reflects the real cost of doing business the right way. 💼
🎓 You're Paying For Expertise From The Moment They Arrive The technician walking through your door isn't guessing — they are bringing years of licensed training, hands-on experience, and professional expertise to your specific problem. That knowledge has value from the second they set foot in your home, long before a single tool comes out of the bag. 🛠️⚡
📋 Transparent Pricing Protects YOU As The Homeowner When a company tells you the cost upfront, you are in control. You know what to expect. You can budget accordingly. And you never have to worry about opening an invoice full of charges you didn't anticipate. Transparency isn't just good business — it's respect for the customer. 🙌
🏆 The Companies That Hide Fees Are The Ones To Worry About Kevin and Jim have a candid conversation about what it means when a company refuses to discuss pricing upfront — and why homeowners should actually be more concerned about the contractor who promises to come out for free than the one who is honest about their costs from the start. 🚨🔍
😤 "But Some People Hang Up When They Hear The Fee!"
Kevin addresses this head on — and his answer is both honest and refreshing. Yes, some callers hang up the moment they hear the $79 service fee. And that's okay. 📵
Because Lipps Electric isn't for everyone — they're for the homeowner who values quality, transparency, and professionalism over the illusion of a free service call that somehow ends up costing far more in the long run. 💡
The customers who stay on the line are the customers who understand that you get what you pay for — and that a licensed, insured, trained electrician showing up at your home with complete clarity about costs is worth every single penny of that service fee. ✅💰
🔑 What Consistent Communication Really Means For Homeowners Kevin explains why clear, consistent communication about costs and expectations is one of the most important things a home service company can offer — and how that commitment to clarity builds the kind of long-term trust between contractor and homeowner that leads to relationships lasting decades rather than a single transaction. 🤝❤️
Because at the end of the day, the best home service companies aren't just selling a repair — they're selling peace of mind, reliability, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly who is coming to your home and exactly what it is going to cost. 🏠🏆
💡 If you've ever been burned by a surprise invoice, a hidden fee, or a contractor who showed up and suddenly the price was nothing like what you expected — this episode is for you. Lipps Electric is showing Ohio homeowners what it looks like when a company does it right. ✅

🏠 WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT HOME SERVICE PRICING? 🔧✅
Here's something every homeowner needs to hear — and it might just change the way you think about hiring a home service professional! 👇
Great home service companies don't give prices over the phone. They don't quote you in a chat box. And honestly? That's a GOOD thing. 📵💬
Here's why 👇
Think about it this way — if you needed a hip replacement, would you expect your doctor to diagnose you over the phone and tell you the cost before ever seeing you? 🏥 Of course not! Your doctor schedules an in-person appointment, examines you, runs the proper assessments, and THEN gives you an accurate diagnosis and a plan moving forward. 🩺📋
Your home deserves the same level of care and professionalism. 🏡❤️
The BEST home service companies operate the same way:
🔍 They send a licensed, insured, and trained technician directly to your home 📋 The technician inspects the problem in person — with their own eyes and expertise 🛠️ They assess the situation thoroughly — no guessing, no shortcuts 📝 They write up a proper diagnosis of exactly what's going on 💰 They provide an accurate, honest estimate based on what they actually find
That's not inconvenient — that's integrity. 💪
When a company throws out a number before ever seeing your problem, you're not getting a quote — you're getting a guess. And guesses lead to surprises, hidden fees, and work that may not even address the real issue. 😤🚨
The companies that do it right take the time to show up, evaluate, and give you a real answer — because your home is one of the biggest investments of your life, and it deserves nothing less than a professional diagnosis. 🏆
💡 Next time you call a home service company and they want to send someone out to take a look first — don't be frustrated. Be grateful. That's a company that actually cares about doing the job right. ✅

🎙️ Podcast Episode: Why Old Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Wiring Can Cost You!
If your home was built before the 1970s, this episode could save you thousands of dollars — and possibly prevent a serious fire risk.
Host Jim Klauck from Check A Pro sits down with master electrician Kevin Lipps of Lipps Electric in Cincinnati, Ohio, to break down the hidden dangers and financial consequences of outdated electrical systems.
⚡ In this episode, you’ll learn:
What knob-and-tube wiring really is — and why insurance companies hate it
The truth about aluminum wiring in 1960s–70s homes
Why these systems can increase fire risk
How outdated wiring impacts your home’s resale value
What repairs or upgrades actually cost
When a full rewire is necessary — and when it’s not
Many older homes still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that may be technically legal, but insurance companies often refuse coverage or charge much higher premiums once they learn about it—especially as home inspectors increasingly disclose these issues.
Upgrading electrical service (commonly to 200 amps today) typically requires a new panel, breakers, and updated wiring; this is important for safety and for securing affordable insurance, since some homes still have 100 amps or less.
Kevin explains how these older systems were installed, why they were acceptable at the time, and what changes in electrical code and safety standards now mean for homeowners. If you’re buying, selling, remodeling, or insuring a home, this is critical information.
💡 Don’t wait until your insurance company forces your hand — or worse, until you smell smoke.
Listen now and protect your home, your family, and your investment.
