Q&A
What does a standard electrical inspection from Lou's involve for my Glenside home?
Our electrical inspection is a thorough review of your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and safety systems. We check for compliance with current Pennsylvania electrical codes, identify potential hazards like outdated wiring or overloaded circuits, and provide a detailed report with recommendations. This service is especially valuable for older homes in our area, helping to ensure safety and reliability.
I've noticed flickering lights in my attic; could this be related to rodent damage, and how do you handle it?
Yes, flickering lights or intermittent outages in attics are common signs of rodent-damaged wiring, a frequent issue in Glenside and surrounding areas. We safely inspect the affected wiring, remove any damaged sections, and replace them with new, code-compliant wiring. We also recommend and can implement preventative measures to protect against future infestations, ensuring a lasting repair.
What should I expect during a home network installation with Lou's Electric?
Our home network installation begins with a consultation to understand your internet usage and home layout. We then professionally run Ethernet cables through walls and ceilings to central locations, install access points for strong whole-home Wi-Fi coverage, and set up any necessary equipment. We ensure a neat, low-profile installation and test the network thoroughly, leaving you with a reliable, high-performance system for work, streaming, and smart home devices.
