Leatherwood Electric - Detroit's Best Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Leatherwood Electric includes checking the wiring and connections for all installed fixtures, including ceiling fans. We specifically look for loose connections, improper grounding, and overloaded circuits—common causes of fan failures in Detroit homes. Identifying these issues early prevents unexpected breakdowns and reduces fire risk.

Water and moisture can seep into exterior or basement outlets, causing corrosion, short circuits, and creating a serious shock or fire hazard. During an inspection, we check for signs of water damage around outlets, test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection—which is crucial in damp areas—and recommend solutions like weatherproof covers or relocating outlets to keep your home safe.

Older wiring systems may not handle modern electrical loads and are more susceptible to the wear and tear that leads to local issues like fan failures and moisture problems. Our inspection assesses the entire system's health, from the panel to individual outlets and fixtures. This gives you a clear picture of your home's safety and helps us create a prioritized plan to address any vulnerabilities specific to our climate and housing stock.
