Electrical Contractor Andover MN | Call Andover Electric

Yes, absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, we specifically look for signs of pest damage, which is a common issue in Andover. Rodents can chew through insulation, creating fire hazards and short circuits. We identify compromised wiring and recommend safe repairs to prevent future problems and ensure your home's electrical system is secure.

After heavy snow or ice, visually check where the power line from the pole connects to your house. Look for sagging lines, damaged insulation, or ice accumulation. However, for safety, never touch these lines. If you suspect damage or experience flickering lights, call us. Our inspection includes assessing the mast, service entry, and meter base for weather-related damage common in Minnesota winters.

A pre-winter electrical inspection is crucial in our climate. It proactively identifies vulnerabilities like old wiring that rodents may have accessed or exterior connections weakened from previous seasons. Fixing these issues before snow and ice arrive helps prevent outages, protects against fire hazards from damaged wires inside cold walls, and ensures your home's electrical system is ready for the demands of heating season.
