Rob Linder Electric - Lafayette's Professional Electrical Repair

Our thorough electrical inspection examines your home's entire system for safety and code compliance. We check the main service panel for proper amperage and signs of wear, test outlets and GFCIs, inspect wiring in accessible areas like attics, and ensure all connections are secure. For older Lafayette homes, we pay special attention to outdated wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminum, which can be a fire hazard. The inspection provides a clear report on any needed repairs or upgrades to keep your family safe and your electrical system reliable.

Absolutely. Short circuits in Lafayette's historic and aging homes are a common issue we address. Often, these are caused by outdated wiring that has deteriorated, overloaded circuits from modern appliances, or faulty devices. Our team begins with expert troubleshooting to pinpoint the exact cause. Solutions may include repairing damaged wire sections, upgrading specific circuits to handle more load, or in some cases, recommending a partial or complete rewire to modern, safer standards. We have extensive experience working respectfully in older homes to resolve these persistent and potentially dangerous problems.

Yes, we provide prompt and reliable service for storm-related electrical damage, which is a recurring issue in our area. After severe weather, we can assess damage from power surges, fallen limbs affecting service lines, or water intrusion into panels and outlets. Our services include safely restoring power, replacing damaged panels or circuit breakers, repairing exterior meter bases and weatherheads, and installing whole-home surge protection to safeguard your electronics from future events. We prioritize safety checks to ensure your system is secure before returning it to normal operation.
