Emergency Electrical Contractor in Waukegan, IL 60087 - Benson Electric C & C

Yes, absolutely. Rodent-damaged wiring is a common issue in our area. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our licensed electricians carefully examine your attic, crawl spaces, and behind walls for chewed insulation, exposed wires, and nesting materials. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power outages, and potential fire hazards in your home.

A generator transfer switch is critical for safe backup power, but improper installation or existing wiring issues can be dangerous. Our inspection ensures your home's electrical panel can safely handle the new load and that the transfer switch is correctly integrated. This prevents back-feeding power to the grid (which can endanger utility workers) and ensures your generator operates reliably during an outage in Waukegan.

Our standard inspection is a thorough safety check of your home's electrical system. We assess the main service panel for proper amperage and safety, test all outlets and GFCI/AFCI protection, inspect wiring for damage or wear (including from pests), evaluate grounding systems, and check all major appliances and lighting circuits. We provide a detailed report with any findings and recommended solutions to keep your family safe.
