Scg Electric | Experienced Electricians in Des Moines, WA

Many older homes in Des Moines have panels not designed for today's high electrical demand. Our inspection assesses your panel's capacity, checks for signs of overheating, and evaluates your circuit loads. We identify if your panel is at risk of overloading—a common local issue—and provide a clear plan to upgrade or redistribute loads to ensure safety and prevent tripped breakers or potential fire hazards.

Rodents seeking shelter can chew through wiring insulation in attics, crawl spaces, and walls, a frequent problem in Des Moines neighborhoods. This damage creates serious shock and fire risks that are often hidden. Our detailed electrical inspection includes checking these vulnerable areas for gnaw marks, nest buildup, and compromised wires, allowing us to locate and repair the damage before it leads to a dangerous failure.

For breaker issues, watch for frequently tripping breakers, lights that dim when appliances turn on, or a panel that feels warm. For potential rodent damage, listen for scratching in walls, notice a burning smell, or have unexplained circuit trips. If you see any of these signs, common in our area, a professional inspection from SCG Electric can diagnose the root cause and provide a safe, lasting solution.
