Questions and Answers
How can a professional electrical inspection protect my Wasilla home from winter damage?
Our inspections specifically check for issues common in our climate, like brittle insulation from extreme cold and stressed circuits from space heaters or boiler systems. We identify these problems early so you can repair them proactively, preventing potential shorts, outages, or fire hazards during the coldest months.
My breakers trip when I run multiple heaters. Is this an overloaded circuit?
Yes, that's a classic sign of an overloaded circuit, a frequent issue in Wasilla homes during winter. Our inspection can map your home's circuitry, assess the load from your heating equipment, and recommend solutions like dedicated circuits or panel upgrades to handle the demand safely and reliably.
What does Shelton Electric look for during a cold-weather electrical inspection?
We focus on safety risks amplified by Alaska's cold. This includes examining wire insulation in attics and crawlspaces for cracks, ensuring outdoor connections and meter bases are sealed against moisture, verifying proper grounding, and checking that your electrical panel can handle the seasonal load from heating systems without overheating.
