Michael & Son Service | Professional Electricians in Richmond, VA

Arc fault breakers are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs, which are common in older Richmond homes with aging wiring or appliances. Frequent trips are a safety warning. Our detailed electrical inspection can pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's a worn cord, a faulty outlet, or compromised wiring behind your walls, allowing us to make the precise repair needed to restore safety and prevent nuisance trips.

Rodents often chew on wiring insulation in attics, basements, and crawlspaces, creating serious fire and shock hazards that aren't always visible. Our comprehensive inspection includes a visual check of accessible areas and testing of circuits for irregularities. We look for telltale signs like gnaw marks, nesting materials, and damaged wire sheathing to identify and repair compromised sections before they cause a failure or safety issue.

You can expect a thorough, neighborly assessment. Our licensed electrician will review your electrical panel, test outlets and switches, check for proper grounding, and inspect visible wiring for damage or wear—paying special attention to areas prone to local issues like arc faults and rodent activity. We'll provide a clear, written report of our findings and a straightforward recommendation for any necessary repairs to ensure your system is safe and up to code.
