Electrical Company Eau Claire WI | Call Area Electric

We specifically check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, which are common in older Eau Claire homes and can lead to short circuits. We also inspect the service panel for overloading, test GFCIs and AFCIs for safety, and assess the overall system capacity to ensure it meets modern electrical demands safely.

Absolutely. While the cable itself is buried, our inspection involves testing the electrical load, checking for voltage drops at outlets, and inspecting the point where the service enters your home. We can often identify signs of a failing underground cable, such as intermittent power or flickering lights, which is a common issue in our local soil conditions, allowing for proactive repair.

We'll provide a clear repair plan. Typically, this involves safely isolating the faulty circuit and replacing the compromised wiring. For older Eau Claire homes, we often recommend upgrading affected circuits to modern, safer standards and may discuss a broader rewiring plan if the issue is widespread, always focusing on a solution that fits your home and budget.
