Hobbs Electric - Saint Louis's Certified Electrical Contractor

Attic wiring in older Saint Louis homes can degrade, causing dangerous short circuits. Our comprehensive electrical inspection meticulously traces your entire system, isolating the exact location and cause of the short in your attic. We identify damaged insulation, rodent damage, or faulty connections, then provide a clear plan to repair or replace the compromised wiring, eliminating the fire risk and restoring safe operation.

Absolutely. Frequent tripping is a classic sign of an overloaded panel, a common issue as Saint Louis families add modern appliances. Our inspection includes a detailed load calculation on your panel and circuits. We'll determine if your current panel is simply at capacity or if there are other underlying faults, and recommend solutions—whether it's a panel upgrade, adding dedicated circuits, or redistributing the electrical load for safety and reliability.

Our Saint Louis home electrical inspection is thorough. We examine your breaker panel for wear, corrosion, and proper labeling; test all outlets for grounding and correct wiring; inspect visible wiring in attics and basements for damage; check light fixtures and switches; and assess the overall system capacity against your home's current demands. The goal is to create a complete safety snapshot and address the specific issues, like attic shorts or overloads, common in our local housing stock.
