Schieffer Electric - Oakdale's Qualified Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Schieffer Electric can identify if your home lacks proper surge protection. We specifically check for vulnerable points and recommend solutions like installing whole-home surge protectors at your main panel, which is the most effective way to shield all your expensive electronics from the damaging surges common in our area.

For homes with aluminum wiring, our inspection focuses on the connection points at outlets, switches, and fixtures, as these are the primary fire hazard areas. We meticulously check for signs of overheating, corrosion, and improper connections. Based on our findings, we provide expert remediation options, such as applying anti-oxidant paste or installing specialized connectors (like COPALUM or AlumiConn) to ensure your system is safe.

Older homes in our community often have electrical systems that weren't designed for today's high-powered electronics, increasing the risk of both surges and overheating. Our inspection assesses your system's overall capacity, grounding, and the condition of all wiring, including checking for the aluminum wiring common in mid-century builds. This gives you peace of mind and a clear plan to modernize your electrical system for safety and reliability.
