Questions and Answers
Can an electrical inspection from Sellars identify a potential breaker panel overload in my older N Charleston home?
Absolutely. A primary goal of our electrical inspection is to assess your panel's capacity and load. Many older homes in our area weren't built for today's high electrical demands. We'll check for signs of overload, like frequent tripping or warm breakers, and recommend solutions—whether it's a panel upgrade or adding dedicated circuits—to ensure safety and prevent fire hazards.
How does rodent-damaged wiring get found during an inspection, and what's the fix?
Our inspectors are trained to look for specific signs of rodent activity, such as chewed wire insulation in attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls—a common issue here. We use specialized tools and visual checks to locate damage you might not see. The fix involves safely replacing the compromised wiring and, importantly, recommending measures to prevent future infestations to protect your home's electrical integrity.
Why should I get an electrical inspection from a local company like Sellars, not just a general contractor?
Local expertise matters. As N Charleston electricians, we understand the specific challenges of homes in our area, from soil conditions affecting grounding to common building materials and pest issues. An inspection from our licensed specialists provides a deeper, code-specific assessment of your electrical system's safety, giving you a detailed report and solutions tailored to our region's standards and common problems.
