Edgar Electrician | Electrical Inspection & Repair | Moore Electric

Arc fault breakers are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs, which are common in older or damaged wiring. In our area, factors like aging insulation, attic wiring compromised by pests, or loose connections can cause nuisance trips. Our detailed electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact source of the arc fault, allowing us to make the necessary repairs or upgrades to restore safe, reliable power to your circuits and prevent future trips.

If you suspect a short circuit—indicated by a tripped breaker, burning smell, or sparking—the first step is to turn off power to that circuit at your main panel and call a professional immediately. Attic wiring in Edgar homes can be vulnerable to damage from rodents, insulation settling, or extreme temperature swings. Our electricians will perform a comprehensive safety inspection to locate the short, assess any damage to the wiring, and execute a safe, permanent repair to protect your home from fire risk.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 5-10 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given the common issues with arc faults and attic shorts in our community, an inspection is also wise if you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, adding major appliances, or noticing flickering lights. Our inspection provides peace of mind by identifying potential hazards like worn wiring or overloaded circuits before they lead to more serious—and costly—problems.
