Questions and Answers
Why is an electrical inspection important for older homes in Coffeen?
Many older homes in our area were built with aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time due to oxidation and loose connections. A professional electrical inspection from Howard's identifies these specific risks, along with other issues like faulty outlets or outdated panels, giving you a clear safety assessment and peace of mind.
What does your electric inspection service check for?
Our comprehensive inspection goes beyond a basic check. We specifically look for the problems common in Coffeen homes, including signs of overheating at aluminum wire connections, loose or back-wired outlets that can arc, proper grounding, overloaded circuits, and the overall condition of your electrical panel. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations.
If your inspection finds aluminum wiring, what are my options?
We offer expert solutions tailored to your home and budget. The most effective long-term fix is a complete rewiring with modern copper wire. For a more targeted approach, we can install special COPALUM crimp connectors at all outlets and switches—a certified and safe method to mitigate the aluminum wiring hazard. We'll explain all options clearly so you can make an informed decision.
