Common Questions

How can an electrical inspection protect my appliances from Minnesota power surges?

An electrical inspection by Gehrke Electric checks your home's entire system, including surge protection devices and grounding. We identify if your current protection is adequate to handle the voltage spikes common in our area, which can fry electronics and major appliances. We can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors to safeguard your investment.

Can cracking wire insulation from the cold cause a fire, and will an inspection find it?

Yes, cracked insulation exposes live wires, creating a serious fire and shock hazard. Our detailed inspections include examining wiring in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—areas most affected by temperature extremes. We look for brittleness, cracks, and signs of overheating, so we can repair or replace compromised wiring before it becomes dangerous.

As a Sleepy Eye homeowner, what should I look for before calling for an electrical inspection?

Be alert for warning signs like frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing from outlets, or a burning smell—especially after extreme cold snaps. If your appliances have recently been damaged by a suspected surge, it's a clear sign to call us. A proactive inspection can catch these local issues early, preventing costly repairs and ensuring safety.
