Electricians Shenandoah IA | Call Orme Electric

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on common local issues. We thoroughly assess your electrical panel for outdated components and insufficient capacity for today's devices. We also check all accessible wiring for signs of aging insulation and, importantly, for any rodent damage, which is a frequent problem in our area. This gives you a complete picture of your home's electrical safety.

For many Shenandoah homes, if your panel is over 20-25 years old, it's a good candidate for an inspection. Specific warning signs include frequent breaker trips, lights that dim or flicker when appliances turn on, a buzzing sound from the panel, or the use of fuses instead of breakers. An inspection by Orme Electric can determine if your panel is a safety risk or simply needs an upgrade.

Rodents chewing on wiring is a major fire hazard and can cause shorts or power loss. During our inspection, we look for specific signs like frayed or missing wire insulation in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common entry points. We also check for rodent nesting materials near wires. Identifying and repairing this damage is crucial for preventing electrical fires in your home.
