Nicol Electric Inc - Rio Rancho's Certified Electricians

Rodents chewing on wires is a frequent problem here in Rio Rancho. Our thorough electrical inspection includes checking your attic, crawl spaces, and behind walls for signs of gnawed insulation or exposed wiring. We identify these hidden hazards before they can cause short circuits, power outages, or even fires. If we find damage, we can safely repair it and recommend preventative measures to keep pests out of your electrical system.

Improper grounding is a serious safety issue that can lead to electrocution risk and damage to appliances. For Rio Rancho homes, especially older ones, soil conditions and aging systems can compromise grounding. During our inspection, we test your home's grounding electrodes and connections to the electrical panel to ensure they meet current safety codes. We verify that your system can safely divert dangerous electrical surges into the ground, protecting your family and your electronics.

As your local electrician, we advise Rio Rancho homeowners to watch for specific warning signs. For potential rodent damage, listen for scratching in walls, notice flickering lights, or experience tripping breakers in one area. For grounding issues, be alert for a tingling shock from appliances, frequent equipment malfunctions, or outlets that don't work. If you notice any of these, a professional inspection from Nicol Electric can diagnose and fix the problem before it becomes an emergency.
