Q&A

My arc-fault breaker in Hastings keeps tripping. Can an inspection by Phil Erlandsen Electric find out why?

Absolutely. A detailed electrical inspection is the best first step. We'll test the circuit, check for wiring damage or loose connections (common in attics), and identify if the issue is a faulty appliance, overload, or the breaker itself. In many Hastings homes, aging insulation or outdated wiring can cause these nuisance trips.

What does an electrical inspection cover for attic wiring problems in my older home?

Our inspection for attic wiring focuses on safety hazards common in our climate. We check for rodent damage to insulation, signs of overheating at connections, proper grounding, and if the wiring meets current NEC code. This helps prevent short circuits and fire risks, giving you peace of mind.

After an inspection finds a short circuit in my attic, what are my repair options?

We'll provide a clear, upfront estimate. Repair options depend on the damage found but often involve safely replacing the damaged wire section, securing all connections in approved junction boxes, and ensuring proper insulation. Our goal is a permanent fix that brings your system up to modern safety standards.
