Frequently Asked Questions
Can an electrical inspection in Galveston find rodent-damaged wiring?
Absolutely. A thorough electrical inspection from Smith Electric includes a visual check of accessible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and behind panels—common areas where rodents like squirrels or rats in Galveston can chew through insulation. We identify signs of damage, exposed wires, and potential fire hazards, providing a clear report and recommended repairs to keep your home safe.
Why does my arc fault breaker keep tripping, and how can you help?
Frequent AFCI trips in Galveston homes are often caused by aging wiring, moisture from our humid climate, or damaged cords. Our electricians perform diagnostic testing to pinpoint the exact circuit and cause—whether it's a wiring fault, a specific appliance, or environmental factors. We then provide a targeted repair or replacement solution to restore reliable power and maintain your home's electrical safety.
What's included in your standard electrical inspection service?
Our standard inspection for Galveston homeowners covers your main service panel, wiring integrity, grounding systems, outlets, switches, and GFCIs/AFCIs. We specifically look for local issues like corrosion from salt air, evidence of pest damage, and proper breaker function. You'll receive a detailed assessment of any code violations, safety risks, or inefficiencies, along with a prioritized plan for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
