Certified Electrical Services in Des Moines, IA 50310 - Glass & Sons Electric

A professional electrical inspection by Glass & Sons Electric checks the integrity of the wiring in your ceiling boxes and the associated circuits. We identify loose connections, outdated wiring, or overloaded circuits that are common causes of fan failures in older Des Moines homes. Catching these issues early prevents intermittent operation, overheating, and potential fire hazards, ensuring your fans run safely and reliably.

Our inspection specifically evaluates your home's defense against surges. We check the condition of your main service panel, the functionality of any existing whole-house surge protectors, and the grounding system. For Des Moines homes, we often recommend upgrading outdated panels or installing new surge protection devices to safeguard expensive electronics and appliances from voltage spikes caused by local grid fluctuations or storms.

We recommend a full electrical inspection every 3-5 years for most homes, or before purchasing an older property. If you're experiencing specific issues like flickering lights (often related to fan circuits) or have added major appliances, an inspection is wise. It's a proactive step that helps us identify wear-and-tear common in our area, preventing small problems from becoming costly, dangerous repairs down the line.
