Electrical Contractor Springfield IL | Call Richardson Electric

Many Springfield homes built in the 1960s and 70s used aluminum wiring, which can loosen at connections over time, leading to overheating and a significant fire hazard. Our professional electrical inspection specifically checks for these dangerous conditions, such as signs of oxidation at outlets and switches, and recommends proven solutions like COPALUM crimp repairs to ensure your family's safety.

Our inspections go beyond the basics to diagnose issues like poor grounding, voltage fluctuations, or incompatible wiring that commonly cause smart home malfunctions in local homes. We identify the root cause so your automation works reliably.

Our thorough inspection is a detailed safety check of your entire electrical system. We'll examine your service panel for correct amperage and safety, test outlets for proper grounding and wiring (paying special attention to aluminum wiring connections), check GFCI protection in wet areas, and assess the wiring for your current and future electrical needs. You'll receive a clear, prioritized report of any findings and our expert recommendations.
