Bolden Electric | Electrical Inspections & Repair in Mount Carmel, IL

During an electrical inspection, our licensed electricians will check the specific outlet and the circuit it's on. We'll look for loose connections, faulty wiring, and signs of arcing or damage within the outlet box itself. More importantly, we assess if the circuit is overloaded by too many appliances, a common cause of overheating. The inspection provides a complete safety diagnosis, so we can repair or replace the faulty component and prevent a potential fire hazard.

Attic inspections are a key part of our service, especially given our local climate and common pest activity. We examine the condition of the insulation around wires, check for any rodent damage or chewing, and look for signs of aging, brittleness, or improper installation. We also ensure wiring is properly secured and not pinched or overheated. Identifying these issues early through an inspection can prevent a short circuit that could lead to a loss of power or an electrical fire.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or anytime you purchase a home, add a major appliance, or notice warning signs like frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or burning smells. Regular inspections are a proactive measure to catch problems like overheating outlets or deteriorating attic wiring before they become emergencies, ensuring your family's safety and your home's electrical reliability.
