Professional Electrical Contractor in Marion, IL 62959 - Sullivan Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed assessment of your attic wiring. We look for signs of overheating, damaged insulation, and improper connections that frequently cause short circuits in our area's hot, humid attics. Identifying these issues early allows us to make safe repairs before they lead to a fire hazard or power outage.

Many homes built in the Marion area during the 1960s and 70s used aluminum wiring, which can pose a fire risk due to its tendency to loosen at connections. During our electrical inspection, we identify the type of wiring in your home and check all connections for safety. If we find aluminum wiring, we can discuss safe remediation options, such as installing COPALUM crimp connectors, to bring your system up to modern safety standards.

If you notice flickering lights, a burning smell, or a tripped breaker associated with your attic, the first step is to turn off power to that circuit at your breaker panel and call us immediately. Do not attempt to investigate it yourself. Our electricians are trained to safely diagnose and repair attic short circuits, a common issue here, by finding the fault and replacing the compromised wiring to restore safe, reliable power.
