Step Electric | Certified Electricians in Milwaukee, WI

Our inspections specifically check for vulnerabilities in your home's exterior wiring and conduit. We look for gaps, cracks, or improper seals where moisture can enter. If water gets in and freezes, it can damage the wire insulation and cause shorts or outages. We'll identify these risks and recommend sealing or rerouting conduit to protect your system from our harsh Wisconsin winters.

Overheating outlets are often a sign of loose wiring connections, overloaded circuits, or outdated components. During our detailed electrical inspection, we use thermal imaging and physical testing to pinpoint the exact source of the heat. We'll check for loose terminals at the outlet, assess the circuit load, and ensure your wiring can handle modern appliance demands, fixing the root cause to eliminate a serious fire hazard.

Warning signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or outlets that suddenly stop working, especially after a deep freeze or thaw. You might also notice a burning smell or see discoloration on an outlet. Don't ignore these signs. Our inspection can safely assess the damage inside the conduit and replace compromised wiring before it leads to a complete failure or an electrical fire.
