Electrical Company Edgewood NM | Call Shane's Electric

Our inspections specifically check for wiring that's undersized for the load, connections that have loosened due to thermal cycling, and insulation that's become brittle from the desert heat. By identifying these issues early, we can recommend upgrades—like installing wiring rated for higher temperatures or adding dedicated circuits—to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards before they start.

Frequent AFCI trips in Edgewood are often caused by aging appliance motors or wiring degraded by heat, which create harmless but detectable 'arcs.' During our inspection, we'll test the circuits, identify the source of the nuisance trips—whether it's a specific appliance or a section of wiring—and provide solutions. This can include repairing or replacing the problematic wiring or installing updated, more stable AFCI breakers better suited to our local conditions.

Keep an eye out for outlets or switch plates that are warm to the touch, a persistent burning smell from an appliance or outlet, or lights that frequently flicker or dim. These can be indicators of overheating. We strongly recommend a professional electrical inspection if you notice any of these signs. Our inspection will pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's an overloaded circuit or heat-damaged wiring, and we'll make the necessary repairs to ensure your safety.
