R. S. Electric - Fort Worth's Experienced Electrical Contractor

Yes, absolutely. During a standard electrical inspection, we check the meter base, connections, and overall load on your system. An overheating meter is often caused by loose connections or overloading, which are clear safety hazards. Our inspection will identify the root cause so we can make the necessary repairs to prevent potential fire risks and ensure your home meets local safety codes.

While a standard visual inspection can't see buried cables, we use a combination of techniques. We perform thorough testing of circuits for unexplained power loss, use specialized equipment to locate faults, and inspect above-ground connection points for signs of damage or corrosion that often indicate a problem below. If we suspect underground cable damage—a common issue in our area—we can diagnose it and provide a clear plan for repair or replacement.

Older homes in Fort Worth often have electrical systems not designed for today's power demands, increasing the risk of issues like overheating components and cable deterioration. Our inspection assesses the entire system's capacity, safety, and condition. We look for outdated wiring, insufficient grounding, and overloaded circuits that could lead to the specific problems local homeowners face, providing you with peace of mind and a roadmap for any needed upgrades.
