Roadrunner Electric - Las Vegas's Local Electrical Services

Our inspection specifically checks for outlets in high-heat areas, like exterior walls facing the sun, for signs of thermal stress. We test for loose connections, which generate excess heat, and assess if the circuit is overloaded by modern appliances. By identifying and fixing these issues, we prevent the dangerous overheating common in our desert climate.

Older wiring insulation can become brittle and degrade faster under constant desert heat, exposing conductors and creating a fire risk. Our inspection involves a thorough evaluation of your home's wiring condition, checking for overheating at connection points and within walls. We recommend necessary upgrades or repairs to ensure your system is safe for the local temperature extremes.

We look for discoloration or melting on outlet and switch plates, a burning smell from panels or outlets, and feel for unusual warmth on walls near wiring runs. The inspection also includes thermal imaging to detect hidden hotspots behind walls. Catching these signs early is crucial to prevent electrical failures in our hot climate.
