Electrical Contractor Strum WI | Call Michels Electric

Our detailed inspection specifically checks your outdoor outlets and wiring for signs of freeze damage or water intrusion common in our Wisconsin climate. We assess the integrity of weatherproof covers, test for proper grounding, and ensure GFCIs are installed and functioning to prevent shock hazards from melted snow and ice. Identifying and repairing these issues proactively can prevent costly failures and safety risks when you need outdoor power most.

Absolutely. A recurring GFCI trip is a warning sign we take seriously. During our inspection, we don't just reset the outlet; we systematically test the GFCI device itself and trace the circuit to find the root cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, moisture intrusion (common in kitchens and bathrooms), or a wiring fault elsewhere on the circuit. We'll provide a clear diagnosis and repair options to restore safe, reliable protection for your home.

Our inspection is tailored to local needs. We check the main service panel for safety, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets (crucial for modern safety codes), inspect wiring in attics and crawl spaces for damage, and pay special attention to outdoor and garage circuits vulnerable to our climate. We provide a straightforward report on any issues found, from simple outlet replacements to recommendations for updating older systems, all explained in a clear, neighborly way.
