Reliable Electrical Company in Steele, ND 58482 - Shipley Electric

Absolutely. Rodents chewing on wiring is a common issue in our area. Our thorough electrical inspections are designed to identify any existing damage, exposed wires, or vulnerable areas in your attic, crawl spaces, and outbuildings. We can recommend protective measures like conduit or rodent-deterrent treatments to prevent future problems and potential fire hazards.

Voltage drops in rural areas are often due to long wire runs from the transformer or undersized wiring for the electrical load. During our inspection, we assess your service entrance, panel capacity, and circuit integrity. We can identify the cause of the drops and provide solutions, such as upgrading service lines or adding dedicated circuits, to ensure stable, reliable power for your home and equipment.

Common local signs include flickering lights (especially when appliances kick on), frequently tripped breakers, burning smells near outlets, or visible gnaw marks on wires. If you notice any of these, don't wait. An inspection from Shipley Electric can pinpoint the root cause—whether it's rodent damage, aging wiring, or an overloaded circuit—and provide a safe, lasting fix tailored to our rural environment.
