Old Hickory Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Rodent Damage Repair

Absolutely. Rodents often chew wiring in hidden areas like attics, behind walls, and in crawl spaces. Our detailed electrical inspections are specifically designed to identify this common local hazard. We use our expertise and tools to check these vulnerable areas, locate compromised wires, and recommend the necessary repairs to eliminate a potential fire risk before it causes an outage or more serious damage.

Yes, diagnosing nuisance AFCI trips is a key part of our inspection service. These breakers are sensitive to arc faults, which can be caused by damaged wiring (often from pests), loose connections, or even certain appliances. Our inspection pinpoints the exact cause—whether it's a wiring issue we need to repair or an appliance you should have checked—stopping the frustrating trips and ensuring your home's electrical system is operating safely.

Older homes in our area are particularly susceptible to the two issues we see most: aging wiring that becomes brittle and attractive to rodents, and electrical systems that may not have been updated for modern AFCI protection. Our inspection assesses the entire system's health, checking for rodent damage, evaluating the condition of existing wiring, and ensuring your safety devices like AFCIs are functioning correctly to protect your family and property.
