Q&A

Can an electrical inspection find rodent damage in my Lakewood home's attic?

Yes, absolutely. During a standard electrical inspection, our electricians carefully examine all accessible wiring, including in attics—a common area for rodents to nest and chew on insulation. We look for telltale signs like frayed wires, gnaw marks, or nesting materials near electrical boxes. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial to prevent short circuits, power outages, or potential fire hazards common in our area.

My circuit breaker trips when I charge my EV. Will an inspection tell me why?

Definitely. This is a frequent issue we see in Lakewood homes with older electrical panels. Our inspection will assess your home's total electrical load and the specific circuit for your EV charger. We'll determine if the charger is overloading an existing circuit not designed for its high, sustained demand. The inspection report will clearly state whether you need a simple circuit upgrade or a dedicated EV charger installation to resolve the overloads safely.

What should I expect from a home electrical inspection with KS Electric?

You can expect a thorough, neighborly assessment of your home's entire electrical system. We'll check your main service panel for capacity and safety, test outlets and GFCIs, inspect visible wiring for damage (like from pests), and evaluate all major circuits, including those for appliances and EV chargers. We provide a clear, written report explaining any issues found, their urgency, and your repair options—giving you peace of mind about your home's safety in Lakewood.
