As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to ensure your community’s electrical systems are safe, efficient, and ready for the year ahead. At Salty Shores Installations, we know the importance of staying proactive about electrical maintenance—especially in shared spaces like HOAs and condo associations. That’s why we’ve created this helpful Year-End Electrical Safety Checklist for Community Association Managers (CAMs):

Year-End Electrical Safety Checklist for Community Managers

1. Inspect Outdoor Lighting:
   • Check all exterior and pathway lights for proper functioning. Replace burnt-out bulbs and repair any faulty fixtures to maintain safety and visibility.
2. Test GFCI Outlets:
   • Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required near water sources (pools, bathrooms, etc.). Ensure they’re functioning correctly by pressing the “test” and “reset” buttons.
3. Examine Circuit Breakers:
   • Review your breaker panels for signs of wear, overheating, or frequent tripping. If issues arise, it may be time for an inspection by a licensed electrician.
4. Check Pool and Clubhouse Electrical Systems:
   • Ensure pool lighting, filtration systems, and clubhouse wiring are safe and compliant with Florida regulations. Look for signs of corrosion or outdated components.
5. Evaluate Emergency Lighting:
   • Confirm that emergency lights and exit signs in common areas are operational. Replace batteries or faulty fixtures as needed.
6. Update Ceiling Fans and Lighting in Shared Spaces:
   • Check that ceiling fans and lighting fixtures in clubhouses, fitness rooms, and other amenities are secure, clean, and energy-efficient.
7. Schedule an Electrical Inspection:
   • An annual inspection can help identify hidden hazards like outdated wiring or overloaded circuits, ensuring peace of mind for you and your residents.
