Certified Electrical Company in Fort Smith, AR 72901 - Integrated Electrical Solutions

Our comprehensive electrical inspection involves a thorough evaluation of your home's entire system. We check your main service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and grounding to identify any safety hazards, code violations, or inefficiencies. For Fort Smith residents, we pay special attention to common local issues like the performance of generator transfer switches and the proper function of arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), which can trip frequently in older wiring. We provide a clear, written report of our findings and honest recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Arc fault breakers are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs and shut off power to prevent fires, but they can also trip due to normal appliance motors or slightly damaged wire insulation, which is common in older Fort Smith homes. Our repair process starts by diagnosing the specific circuit to determine if the issue is a faulty appliance, a wiring problem, or a sensitive breaker. We then provide a reliable fix, which may involve repairing or replacing compromised wiring, or in some cases, installing an updated, compatible AFCI model to ensure both safety and proper function for your household.

You should consider an upgrade if your current panel is outdated, frequently trips breakers, feels warm to the touch, or lacks the capacity for modern appliances and home additions. Many older Fort Smith homes have panels that are no longer up to current safety codes or cannot support additional circuits. Our installation service involves assessing your home's power needs, safely removing the old panel, and installing a new, properly sized unit with adequate circuit space. This upgrade enhances safety, prevents overloads, and provides a reliable foundation for your home's electrical system.
