Renshaw Electric | Reliable Electrical Company in Traverse City, MI

Our thorough electrical inspections specifically check attics, basements, and crawlspaces—common entry points for mice and squirrels in our area. We look for chewed insulation, nesting materials near wires, and exposed conductors that can cause short circuits or fire hazards. Identifying and repairing this damage early can prevent unexpected outages and dangerous situations in your home.

This is a common issue here. Moisture seeps into outdoor outlets during fall, then freezes and expands in winter, damaging internal components and breaking connections. Our inspection tests these outlets for proper function and safety, checking for corrosion, trip faults, and GFCI protection. We then repair or replace damaged units with weather-resistant models to withstand our freeze-thaw cycles.

Our inspection is tailored to older Northern Michigan homes. We evaluate the main service panel for capacity and safety, test all circuits, inspect wiring in vulnerable areas for age and animal damage, and verify that outdoor and garage outlets are properly protected. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your system's health and recommend upgrades to improve safety and handle modern electrical loads.
