Question Answers

Why is an electrical inspection important for my older Ottumwa home?

Many homes in our area have aging electrical systems. A professional inspection by Robertson Electric can identify specific risks like outdated panels or corroded meter bases that may not handle modern electrical loads safely. This proactive step helps prevent potential fire hazards and ensures your home's electrical system is reliable and up to current codes.

What does your electrical inspection check for regarding meter corrosion?

During our inspection, we carefully examine your electrical meter and its connections, a common trouble spot in Ottumwa due to weather exposure. We look for corrosion, loose connections, and signs of overheating or water damage. Catching this early prevents unexpected power outages, improves safety, and can save you from more costly repairs down the line.

If my inspection finds an old electrical panel, what are my options?

We'll provide a clear, detailed report and explain your options. Often, upgrading an outdated panel is the safest course. We can handle the entire replacement process efficiently, ensuring your home has the capacity and modern safety features (like AFCI/GFCI protection) it needs for today's appliances and electronics, all while meeting local Ottumwa codes.
