Shields Electric: Local Electrical Company Serving Walton Hills 44146

Rodent-damaged wiring is a common issue in our area due to pests seeking shelter. Our electrical inspection involves a detailed check of your wiring, especially in attics, basements, and crawl spaces, to identify gnawed or exposed wires that could cause short circuits or fires. We'll safely repair or replace damaged sections to restore safety and prevent future problems.

GFCI outlets can fail due to moisture, age, or electrical surges common in our local climate. During an inspection, we test each GFCI outlet to ensure it trips properly and provides ground fault protection. If a failure is detected, we'll diagnose the cause—such as faulty wiring or a worn-out outlet—and replace it with a new, reliable GFCI to keep your family safe from electrical shocks.

Our standard inspection includes checking your electrical panel for overloads, testing all outlets and switches, verifying GFCI and AFCI protection, inspecting wiring for damage or wear, and assessing overall system safety. We pay special attention to local issues like rodent damage and outlet failures, providing a full report with recommendations to address any hazards and improve your home's electrical reliability.
