Area Wide Electric | Certified Electrical Contractor in Wichita, KS

Absolutely. A professional electrical inspection is the best way to identify an overheating panel early. Our electricians check for signs of overheating like discoloration, burning smells, or warm spots on the panel. We also test for overloaded circuits and ensure proper connections. Catching this early can prevent power outages, damage to your appliances, and significantly reduce fire risk.

While a standard visual inspection can't see underground, it can reveal symptoms of cable damage, such as frequent tripping of a specific outdoor circuit, dimming lights, or unexplained power loss to exterior outlets or structures. Our inspection helps rule out other issues and pinpoint the likely problem area. We then use specialized equipment to locate and assess the underground fault, providing a clear plan for safe, permanent repair.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a home. You should also schedule one if you're adding major appliances, your panel feels warm to the touch, or you experience frequent breaker trips. Regular inspections are a smart, proactive measure to address common local issues like aging panels and cable wear, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to current codes.
