Electrical Inspections in Iowa City | Cullivan Electric | Wiring & Safety

Flickering often points to faulty wiring connections, a common issue with ceiling fans and fixtures in older homes. Our inspection meticulously checks the wiring at the switch, in the junction box, and at the fixture itself to identify loose connections, undersized wires, or damage. This targeted approach fixes the immediate problem and prevents potential overheating or electrical shorts, ensuring your lighting operates safely and reliably.

Absolutely. Rodents frequently chew on electrical wiring insulation, exposing live wires which is a major fire hazard and can cause circuits to fail. For Iowa City homes, our inspection includes a careful examination of wiring in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common rodent pathways. We identify any compromised wires so they can be repaired or replaced before they cause a dangerous short circuit or power loss in part of your home.

Our standard inspection is a comprehensive safety check of your home's electrical system. We evaluate your main service panel for proper amperage and safe connections, test outlets for correct wiring and grounding, inspect visible wiring for damage (like from rodents or age), and ensure all fixtures and switches function safely. It's designed to catch the specific issues we commonly see locally, giving you peace of mind about your home's electrical safety and compliance with current codes.
