Frequently Asked Questions
Can an electrical inspection identify dangerous aluminum wiring in my DeKalb home?
Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection by Hunter Electric includes a detailed assessment of your home's wiring. We specifically check for the presence of aluminum wiring, which is common in many DeKalb-area homes built in the 1960s and 70s. Our inspectors look for signs of overheating, improper connections, and other hazards associated with aluminum, providing you with a clear report and recommended solutions to ensure your home's safety.
How can an inspection help prevent problems after a storm in DeKalb?
A proactive electrical inspection can identify vulnerabilities in your system before a storm hits. We check your main panel, grounding, outdoor connections, and surge protection to ensure they can better withstand severe weather. If damage has already occurred, an inspection is the critical first step. We assess storm-related issues like water damage, fallen limb impacts, or utility surge damage to create a safe, effective repair plan to restore your power and prevent future outages.
What should I do if I suspect storm damage to my electrical system?
Safety first. If you see visible damage, smell burning, or have persistent outages after power is restored in your neighborhood, contact Hunter Electric immediately. Our local team understands the common storm-related issues in DeKalb. We will perform a thorough safety inspection to diagnose problems like damaged outdoor receptacles, compromised wiring, or faulty panels. Do not attempt repairs yourself, as hidden water damage and live wires pose serious risks. We handle everything from assessment to safe, permanent repair.
