Westside Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Repair | Schoessler Electric

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on common local issues. We thoroughly examine your electrical panel for signs of aging, like rust, outdated breakers, or insufficient capacity for modern appliances. We also check attic, basement, and crawl space wiring for damage from rodents or wear, which are frequent concerns in our area. The goal is to identify potential fire hazards and ensure your system is safe and up to current codes.

Several signs indicate an aging panel needs attention. These include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, a burning smell, or visible rust and corrosion. If your home still has a fuse box or a panel with fewer than 200 amps, it likely can't handle today's electrical demands. An inspection from Schoessler Electric can provide a definitive assessment and recommendation for a safe, modern upgrade.

Rodents chew on wiring insulation, exposing live copper wires. This creates a major fire hazard and can cause short circuits, power outages, and even electrocution risks. The damage often occurs in hidden areas like attics and walls, so you might not see it until there's a problem. Our inspections specifically look for this damage. If found, we safely repair or replace the compromised wiring to restore safety and prevent costly future repairs.
