Quality Electric: Licensed Electrical Company Serving Kirksville 63501

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on the safety and capacity of your aging electrical system. We specifically check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, overloaded circuits, insufficient grounding, and outdated panels that can't handle modern appliance loads—common issues in Kirksville's historic homes. This helps prevent fire hazards and ensures your system meets current safety codes.

Rodents, like mice and squirrels common in our area, often chew on wiring insulation inside walls and attics, creating serious fire and shock hazards. During our inspection, we look for signs of gnawing, nesting near wiring, and test for shorts or ground faults caused by this damage. Identifying and repairing these compromised wires is crucial for preventing electrical failures and keeping your Kirksville home safe.

Based on the inspection findings, we'll provide a clear, honest assessment. For rodent-damaged sections, we typically recommend replacing the compromised wiring with new, insulated cable. For entire systems that are outdated and unsafe, a full rewiring or panel upgrade may be the best long-term solution for your Kirksville home. We'll explain all options, prioritize safety, and provide a straightforward quote.
