Qualified Electrical Repair in Alton, IL 62002 - Frank's Electrical Service

Our comprehensive inspection includes a close examination of your electrical meter and its connections. We check for the greenish-blue corrosion that can impede the flow of electricity, cause overheating, and lead to power fluctuations or complete failure. Identifying this early allows us to clean or replace affected components, preventing potential safety hazards and ensuring your meter accurately measures your home's power usage.

Common warning signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch or emit a burning smell, and a lack of modern three-prong (grounded) outlets. If you're using multiple power strips to accommodate modern electronics, that's also a strong indicator your home's original wiring may be outdated and overloaded, which our inspection can definitively assess.

Our inspection is a thorough safety check of your home's entire electrical system. We examine the service panel (breaker box) for proper capacity and safe connections, test all outlets for proper grounding and function, inspect visible wiring for damage or deterioration, evaluate the condition of switches and light fixtures, and assess the overall system load to ensure it can safely handle your family's needs without risk of fire or shock.
