Frequently Asked Questions

How can an electrical inspection help if I suspect my underground cable is damaged?

An electrical inspection from Olson Electric allows us to systematically test your circuits and identify the exact location and nature of the fault. We use specialized equipment to diagnose issues without extensive digging, pinpointing problems like damaged insulation or severed cables caused by local soil conditions or freezing. This targeted approach saves you time and money on repairs, ensuring we only excavate where absolutely necessary to restore your power safely and efficiently.

My outlets are warm to the touch. Will an inspection find the cause?

Absolutely. Overheated outlets are a serious fire hazard and a top priority during our inspections. We'll examine the affected outlets, check the wiring connections for looseness or corrosion, and assess the circuit load to see if it's being overloaded by modern appliances. Our inspection will determine if the issue is a faulty outlet, outdated wiring, or a need for a dedicated circuit, providing you with a clear, actionable plan to eliminate the risk.

As a Oneida homeowner, how often should I get a professional electrical inspection?

We recommend a full electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes common in our area, or before purchasing a home. Given our local issues with ground movement and aging infrastructure, proactive inspections are key. You should also schedule one immediately if you experience frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or any signs of overheating. Regular inspections by Olson Electric help catch small problems early, preventing costly emergency repairs and safeguarding your home.
