Rutledge Electric - Roanoke's Top-Rated Electrical Repair

Loose electrical connections are a common issue in older Roanoke homes and can cause arcing, overheating, and are a leading cause of electrical fires. Our thorough electrical inspection involves checking all outlets, switches, and connections within your main panel and junction boxes. We identify any loose or corroded terminals and secure them to proper torque specifications. This not only eliminates a serious safety hazard but can also fix problems like flickering lights or intermittent power loss you may be experiencing.

Signs of improper grounding include frequent breaker trips, tingling sensations from appliances, or non-functional GFCI outlets. This is a critical safety issue, as a proper ground directs fault currents safely away. Yes, a core part of our electrical inspection service is verifying your home's grounding system. We check the main grounding electrode, ground rods, and bonding to your water pipes and other systems to ensure everything meets National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, protecting your family and electronics from dangerous surges.

Electrical systems are complex and governed by strict codes for your safety.

We understand the specific wiring challenges found in Roanoke's varied housing stock, from historic homes to newer developments, ensuring a diagnosis that's both accurate and tailored to your home.
