P & M Electric | Local Electrical Services in East Hampton, CT

Yes, absolutely. A key part of our inspection service involves checking attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common areas where rodents nest and chew on wiring insulation. We identify this damage, which is a frequent local issue, so you can repair it before it leads to a short circuit or fire hazard.

Overheated outlets are often caused by overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated wiring. Our detailed electrical inspection measures circuit loads, checks the integrity of connections at each outlet, and assesses your overall system's capacity. This helps us pinpoint the exact cause of the overheating, a common safety concern in East Hampton homes.

We recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before a major renovation. Given the prevalence of issues like rodent damage in our area, it's also wise to schedule an inspection if you notice signs like flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or if you've had a pest infestation, to ensure hidden damage is found and fixed.
