Common Questions

Why is an electrical inspection important for older homes in Bonne Terre?

Older homes in our area often have original wiring that may not meet today's safety standards or handle modern electrical loads. An inspection by Pettus Electric can identify aging components, such as knob-and-tube wiring or outdated fuse boxes, that pose fire risks or power reliability issues. It's a proactive step to ensure your family's safety and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Can an inspection find wiring damage from rodents or pests?

Absolutely. Rodents chewing on wires is a common problem in Bonne Terre and can create serious fire hazards and shorts that are often hidden within walls. During our thorough electrical inspection, we look for signs of pest damage, test circuit integrity, and pinpoint compromised wiring that needs to be repaired or replaced to restore safe operation.

What should I do if I suspect my home has faulty or damaged wiring?

If you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or have seen signs of rodents, contact Pettus Electric immediately for an inspection. Do not attempt repairs yourself. Our licensed electricians will safely assess the situation, identify the root cause—whether it's age, damage, or overload—and provide a clear plan to fix it, ensuring your home's electrical system is secure.
