Frequently Asked Questions

Can an electrical inspection from 85 Electric prevent a panel from overheating in my Staten Island home?

Absolutely. During our comprehensive electrical inspection, we meticulously check your panel for loose connections, outdated components, and signs of overloading—common causes of overheating in Staten Island's older homes. We identify the root cause and provide a clear, expert recommendation, whether it's a simple repair, a panel upgrade, or redistributing circuits, to prevent a potential fire hazard and ensure your system runs safely.

How do you check for rodent damage to wires during an inspection, and why is it common here?

Our Staten Island electricians are experienced in spotting the subtle signs of rodent activity, such as nesting materials near wiring, gnaw marks on insulation, and unexplained circuit faults. We inspect attics, basements, and crawl spaces thoroughly. Rodent chewing is common locally due to our proximity to green spaces and older home construction. Finding and repairing this damage is crucial, as exposed wires are a serious fire and shock risk.

What should I do if I suspect my electrical panel is overheating or I hear rodents in my walls?

Safety first. If you notice a burning smell from the panel, it's hot to the touch, or you hear scratching in walls near outlets, contact 85 Electric immediately. For a suspected overheating panel, avoid using major appliances until we can inspect it. For rodent concerns, we can perform a targeted inspection to assess any wiring damage. We're your local experts ready to diagnose and resolve these specific Staten Island electrical issues promptly.
