Bibby Electric - Des Moines's Emergency Electricians

Absolutely. During our comprehensive electrical inspection, we specifically test all GFCI outlets for proper function and ground fault protection. We can identify early signs of failure, like tripping issues or lack of reset capability, which are common in older Des Moines homes. Replacing or repairing faulty GFCIs during the inspection prevents potential shock hazards and ensures your kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor outlets are safe.

An overheating panel is a serious fire hazard often caused by outdated wiring, loose connections, or circuit overload. Our inspection includes a thermal scan of your panel to detect unusual heat signatures that aren't visible to the naked eye. We assess the panel's age, capacity, and wiring condition. If we find risks, we provide clear recommendations for repair or a necessary panel upgrade to keep your Des Moines home safe and your electrical system running cool and efficiently.

Older homes in our area often have electrical systems that haven't been updated to handle modern power demands, leading to the common issues we see. A professional inspection by Bibby Electric provides a complete safety check. We go beyond a visual look, testing systems, checking for code violations, and identifying hidden problems like aluminum wiring or insufficient circuits. This proactive step helps prevent emergencies, ensures your family's safety, and can be required for insurance or home sale purposes.
