Appleton Electric: Trusted Electrical Company Serving Stephenville 76401

Rodents, like mice and squirrels common in our area, often chew through electrical wire insulation, creating exposed conductors. This is a serious fire hazard and can cause shorts. Our inspection meticulously checks attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls for this damage, allowing us to make safe repairs before a small problem becomes a major risk.

Absolutely. Frequent AFCI trips are common in Stephenville homes and can stem from two issues: a genuine dangerous arc (like from damaged wires) or nuisance trips from older appliances or wiring. Our inspection identifies the root cause—whether it's rodent damage, a loose connection, or a compatibility issue—so we can fix the real problem and restore reliable power to your circuits.

Beyond standard safety checks, we focus on local threats. We look for signs of rodent infestation and wire damage, test all AFCIs and GFCIs for proper function, check for overloaded circuits common in older homes, and inspect connections for corrosion or looseness that can cause arcs. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health and address Stephenville-specific risks.
