Electricians Louisville KY | Call Edens Electric

Rodents like squirrels and mice often chew on wiring insulation inside walls and attics, which is a common issue in our area. This exposes live wires, creating a significant fire and shock hazard. An electrical inspection from Edens Electric can identify this hidden damage, allowing us to safely repair or replace the compromised wiring before it leads to a dangerous situation.

During an inspection, our Louisville electricians look for signs of overheating at outlets, such as discoloration, a burning smell, or loose plugs. Overheated outlets, often caused by faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, are a serious fire risk. We'll test the outlet's wiring, check the circuit load, and ensure proper grounding to diagnose the cause and recommend the safest fix.

For general safety, we recommend a professional inspection every 5-10 years for older homes. However, if you're in an area prone to rodents, notice flickering lights, or have added major appliances, more frequent checks are wise. An inspection is also crucial before buying or selling a home in Louisville to uncover any hidden issues like damaged wiring.
