Lapole Richard W Elec Contr: Certified Electrical Contractor Serving Des Moines 50312

Our thorough electrical inspections include a detailed check of your meter base and service entrance for early signs of the corrosion common in our humid Iowa climate. We identify moisture intrusion, poor seals, and galvanic corrosion, then recommend and perform the necessary repairs or replacements to prevent power disruptions and potential safety hazards.

Overheated outlets in older Des Moines homes are often caused by loose connections, outdated wiring that can't handle modern loads, or faulty devices. Our inspection uses thermal imaging and physical testing to pinpoint the exact source of the heat. We then provide clear solutions, such as tightening connections, upgrading wiring, or installing new, higher-capacity outlets to ensure safety.

Beyond standard checks, we focus on local issues: we examine the meter and mast for corrosion, test outlets and switches for overheating, assess the capacity of older wiring for today's appliances, and verify that GFCI protection is correctly installed in damp areas like basements. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your home's electrical health specific to our region.
