What Is a Meg Test? When Do You Need a Meg Test?

Electrical wires and cables are covered with insulating material to help protect the conductors, prevent short circuits, and help reduce the chances of electrical fires. But unfortunately, this insulating material can breakdown over time, leaving your home or business at risk. Fortunately, by using a tool called a megohmmeter, our licensed electricians can test the condition of your wire installation (something called meg testing) and determine whether or not your wires are at risk and in need of repair.
