Paten Electric: Reliable Electrical Services Serving Columbia 65202

In Columbia, attic wiring is vulnerable to heat, humidity, and pests, which can degrade insulation and cause dangerous short circuits. Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed assessment of your attic's wiring. We check for frayed wires, improper connections, and signs of rodent damage—common culprits here. Identifying these issues early allows us to make safe repairs before they lead to a fire hazard or power failure, giving you peace of mind.

Absolutely. Given the frequency of severe thunderstorms in Mid-Missouri, surge protection is a key part of our inspection. We evaluate your home's main electrical panel and individual circuits for existing surge protection devices. If protection is inadequate or outdated, we can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors to safeguard your expensive electronics and appliances from the voltage spikes common during Columbia-area storms.

After a lightning strike or surge, it's crucial to have your home's electrical system inspected before plugging in repaired or new appliances. Our inspection will test your outlets, grounding system, and wiring for hidden damage that could cause further issues or pose a shock risk. We ensure the underlying system is safe and stable, preventing future damage and confirming that your home is properly protected against subsequent surges common in our region.
