Trusted Electrical Company in Fairburn, GA 30213 - G P Electrical Contractors

Rodents like mice and squirrels can chew through wiring insulation, creating serious fire and shock hazards that are often hidden within walls. Our thorough electrical inspection includes checking attics, crawlspaces, and panels for signs of gnawing, exposed wires, and nests. We identify and repair this damage to restore safety and prevent future issues, which is a common concern for many homes in our area.

For older homes, our inspection focuses on the condition of the wiring, the capacity of your electrical panel, and the safety of outlets and switches. We look for outdated materials like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, insufficient circuits for modern appliances, and lack of GFCI protection in wet areas. The goal is to provide a clear assessment and recommendations to upgrade your system for safety, reliability, and compliance with current codes.

Common signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, discolored or warm switch plates, and outlets that don't work. Given the local issues with aging infrastructure and pests, it's also wise to schedule an inspection if you hear rodents in walls, are purchasing an older home, or haven't had your system evaluated in over ten years. Proactive checks help avoid emergencies.
