Absolutely. During a standard electrical inspection, our technicians specifically look for signs of rodent activity, which is a common issue in our area. We check insulation for chew marks, nesting materials in panels, and any compromised wiring that could lead to shorts or fire hazards. Identifying this damage early is crucial for preventing costly repairs and ensuring your home's safety.

Yes, inspecting the meter and service panel is a key part of our service. In Camarillo, meter overheating can be caused by loose connections, corrosion, or an overloaded circuit from increased home energy use. This is a serious fire risk. Our inspection will assess the meter base, connections, and overall load to diagnose the cause and recommend the necessary repairs or upgrades to keep your home safe.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given our local issues like rodent damage and the strain on older meters, more frequent checks can be wise. It's also essential after any significant weather event or if you notice signs like flickering lights, which could indicate underlying problems we commonly find here.
