Red Earth Electric - Oklahoma City's Certified Electrical Company

Rodents often chew wiring in attics and walls, which can expose live conductors and create a serious fire hazard. Our thorough electrical inspection includes a visual examination of accessible wiring, especially in vulnerable areas like attics. We identify damaged insulation, compromised connections, and potential short circuits caused by chewing. Finding and repairing this damage early is crucial for preventing electrical failures and safeguarding your Oklahoma City home.

Signs include frequent tripped breakers, burning smells from outlets or switches, flickering lights, or discolored outlets. Attic wiring is susceptible to heat buildup, aging insulation, and rodent damage common in our area. Our electrical inspection tests circuits, checks for overloaded wiring, and examines insulation integrity. Identifying and fixing these issues prevents potential electrical fires and ensures your system can handle your home's power demands safely.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a home. Given the local issues with attic wiring and pests, more frequent checks may be wise if you notice any warning signs. Regular inspections proactively identify problems like deteriorating connections or rodent damage before they cause costly repairs or dangerous situations, giving you peace of mind about your home's safety.
