Sunwest Electric - Basalt's Qualified Electrical Company

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed check of attic and crawl space wiring, areas rodents frequently target. We look for gnawed insulation, nesting materials, and exposed conductors that pose serious fire and shock hazards. Identifying this localized damage early allows us to repair or replace the compromised sections before they lead to a system failure.

Typically, no. A general home inspection is a visual overview. Our specialized electrical inspection assesses your home's entire electrical system, including the service panel, grounding, and existing surge protection devices. Given Basalt's exposure to mountain thunderstorms, we check for past surge damage and recommend whole-house or point-of-use protectors to safeguard your valuable electronics.

First, check for obvious issues like a tripped main breaker, non-functional outlets, or a burning smell. However, surge damage can be subtle. If appliances like your TV, modem, or microwave are malfunctioning without explanation, it's a key sign. Don't wait—call us for an inspection. We can diagnose hidden damage to wiring and devices that might not be immediately apparent but could worsen over time.
