McArthur Electric - Gainesville's Trusted Electrical Contractor

Our comprehensive electrical inspection is designed specifically for homes in our area. We thoroughly check for common issues like aging or brittle wiring, overloaded circuits, outdated panels, and loose connections in outlets and switches—all of which are frequent concerns in older Gainesville residences. The inspection provides a clear safety assessment and a prioritized list of any recommended repairs or updates to ensure your home meets current electrical codes.

Loose or warm outlets are a common warning sign we see in Gainesville homes, often due to worn internal contacts or loose wiring connections behind the plate. This can create arcing, generate excess heat, and significantly increase the risk of an electrical fire. It's important to address this promptly. Our electricians can safely diagnose the cause, whether it's a single faulty outlet or a symptom of a larger issue with your home's wiring, and perform the necessary repair to ensure your family's safety.

Homes in Gainesville built several decades ago may have wiring that can't safely handle modern electrical loads. Key signs include frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, a reliance on extension cords, outlets that are not 3-prong (grounded), or a fuse box instead of a circuit breaker panel. If you notice any of these, a professional electrical inspection from McArthur Electric is a smart next step. We can evaluate your system's capacity and safety, giving you clear guidance on any needed upgrades.
