Electrical Contractor Des Moines IA | Call Sun Electric

Our electrical inspection includes a thorough evaluation of your home's surge protection. We check your main electrical panel for proper grounding and assess whether you have adequate whole-house or point-of-use surge protectors. Given Des Moines' weather, this is crucial to safeguard expensive electronics and appliances from voltage spikes caused by lightning or grid fluctuations. We'll identify vulnerabilities and recommend solutions to shield your home.

During our inspection, we specifically look for telltale signs of rodent activity in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common problem areas in Des Moines. We check for gnawed wire insulation, nesting materials near electrical boxes, and droppings. Exposed wires are a major fire risk. We'll locate all damaged sections, safely repair or replace the wiring, and can advise on pest-proofing measures to prevent future issues.

Older homes in our area often have aging wiring systems that may not meet modern safety codes and can be more susceptible to the wear and tear that leads to surges or pest damage. Our inspection assesses the entire system's condition, from the service panel to individual circuits and outlets. We identify outdated components like knob-and-tube wiring, overloaded circuits, and faulty grounding—common culprits behind local electrical problems—ensuring your home is safe and up to date.
