Ard Electric & Home Improvement: Experienced Electrical Contractor Serving Springfield 22150

Our thorough electrical inspection involves a licensed electrician checking your home's entire system for safety and code compliance. We examine the main service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding systems. For Springfield homes, we pay special attention to older wiring and any previous DIY repairs that are common in the area. The inspection provides a clear report on any potential hazards, like overloaded circuits or faulty AFCI breakers, and we offer practical recommendations to ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable.

Frequent AFCI trips are a common issue in our area and are a critical safety feature detecting dangerous arc faults. First, try unplugging all devices on that circuit to see if the tripping stops—this could indicate a faulty appliance. If the problem persists, it often points to wiring issues, which are common after DIY repairs or in older homes. We strongly advise against simply replacing the breaker, as this removes a vital safety guard. Our electricians can diagnose the root cause, whether it's damaged wire insulation, a loose connection, or an overloaded circuit, and provide a safe, permanent fix to protect your home.

Absolutely. As both licensed electricians and general contractors, we offer a streamlined approach for Springfield homeowners. This means we can manage your entire project, from the initial electrical planning and panel upgrades to the carpentry, drywall, and finishing work.
