Questions and Answers

My arc fault breaker in my Kewanee home keeps tripping for no reason. Can an electrical inspection help?

Absolutely. Frequent, unexplained tripping is a common issue in our area and often points to a specific wiring problem or a compatibility issue with older appliances. Our detailed electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a wiring fault, a shared neutral, or a specific appliance—so we can provide a targeted, permanent fix to restore your peace of mind and safety.

I have aluminum wiring in my house. Is a standard electrical inspection enough to ensure it's safe?

While a standard inspection checks for basic function, aluminum wiring requires specific expertise due to its unique risks, like oxidation and connection loosening over time. At Gutschlag Electric, our inspections for Kewanee homes with aluminum wiring are thorough. We meticulously examine connections at outlets and switches, check for signs of overheating, and provide clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or modern safety upgrades, such as COPALUM crimps or Al/Cu-rated devices.

What should I expect during a home electrical inspection from a local Kewanee electrician?

Our inspection is a comprehensive safety check of your home's electrical system. We'll test your outlets and GFCI/AFCI protection, inspect your service panel and wiring for hazards (with a special focus on local issues like aluminum wiring), check grounding, and assess the overall load capacity. You'll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report of our findings and a prioritized list of any recommended repairs or updates to enhance your home's safety.
