Electrical Repair Charleston WV | Call Simmons Electric Service

An electrical inspection by our certified team thoroughly assesses your home's entire electrical system, including your breaker panel. We check for proper amperage, identify circuits that are overloaded, and evaluate if your panel can safely handle your home's modern electrical demands. This allows us to recommend specific solutions—like adding a sub-panel or redistributing circuits—to prevent nuisance tripping and, more importantly, reduce fire risk.

Yes, absolutely. An overheated outlet in your Charleston home is a serious warning sign of potential wiring problems, loose connections, or an overloaded circuit. Our electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's faulty wiring behind the outlet or an issue with the circuit itself. Addressing this promptly is crucial for preventing electrical fires and ensuring the safety of your household.

For Charleston's many historic and older homes, our inspection is particularly comprehensive. We check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, assess the grounding system, evaluate the capacity of the existing service panel, and look for any DIY modifications that may not be up to current National Electrical Code standards. This gives you a clear picture of your home's electrical health and a prioritized plan for any necessary upgrades.
