Shepherd Electrician | Electrical Inspection & Repair | C & R Electric

Yes, absolutely. A key part of our electrical inspection process involves checking for signs of rodent activity, which is a common issue in our area. We look for gnaw marks on wires, nesting materials near electrical panels, and other indicators. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power loss, and potential fire hazards hidden within your walls.

Our inspections assess the integrity of your home's entire electrical system, including the connection point from the utility lines. We check for wear, corrosion, and proper grounding that can be exacerbated by heavy snow and ice. By ensuring your service entry, meter base, and main panel are in top condition, we help prevent outages and damage caused by ice-laden branches or freezing temperatures stressing vulnerable components.

Older homes often have aging wiring that may not meet modern safety codes and can be more susceptible to both rodent infiltration and weather-related wear. Our inspection provides a complete safety check. We identify outdated components like knob-and-tube wiring, assess the capacity of your system for today's appliances, and pinpoint any deterioration from decades of seasonal changes, giving you peace of mind and a clear plan for necessary updates.
