Electrical Company DeKalb IL | Call Mascal Electric

Older homes in DeKalb often have wiring systems that may not meet modern safety codes or handle today's electrical demands. Our inspection identifies aging wiring, overloaded circuits, and potential fire hazards specific to vintage construction. This proactive check ensures your family's safety and can prevent costly emergency repairs down the line.

Our thorough inspection includes testing all GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets, which are crucial for safety in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. We check for proper installation, trip functionality, and wiring faults. If a GFCI is failing, we can pinpoint the cause—whether it's the outlet itself, the circuit, or underlying wiring—and provide a reliable fix to restore protection.

For most homes, a professional inspection every 5-10 years is recommended. However, if you live in an older home, have added major appliances, or are experiencing issues like flickering lights or tripping breakers, schedule one sooner. An inspection is also wise before buying an older property or completing a major renovation to ensure the system is safe and up to current standards.
