Metco Electric - Mount Vernon's Trusted Electrical Repair

Our inspections include a visual assessment of accessible areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces, where rodents often nest. We look for telltale signs like gnaw marks on wire insulation, nesting materials, or droppings near electrical boxes. Using thermal imaging, we can also detect unusual heat patterns behind walls that may indicate damaged, arcing wires—a common and dangerous result of chewing.

Signs like frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or a partial loss of power can indicate underground cable issues, often caused by soil corrosion, shifting ground, or excavation damage. Do not attempt to dig or repair it yourself. Contact Metco Electric immediately. Our inspection will safely diagnose the problem, and we coordinate with local utilities to repair or replace the damaged line, restoring safe, reliable power to your home.

Older homes in our area often have aging wiring systems that may not meet current safety codes and are more susceptible to the wear and tear that leads to problems like rodent infiltration or degraded underground cables. A professional inspection by Metco Electric evaluates the entire system's condition, identifies these localized risks, and provides a clear plan to modernize your electrical service, preventing hazardous shorts, fires, and costly emergency repairs.
