Electrical Contractor Covington GA | Call Swinson Electric

Rodents like squirrels and mice often nest in attics and crawl spaces, chewing on electrical wire insulation, which creates fire hazards and power outages. Our detailed electrical inspection includes checking these vulnerable areas for signs of gnawing, exposed wires, and nests. By identifying damage early, we can repair or replace the compromised wiring before it leads to a more dangerous or expensive problem, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and secure.

Proper grounding is essential for safety, directing stray electrical current safely into the earth to prevent shocks, surges, and damage to appliances. Many older homes in our area have outdated or improperly installed grounding systems. Our inspection rigorously tests your home's grounding to ensure it meets current safety codes. This is especially important for protecting against lightning strikes and ensuring your surge protectors work correctly, safeguarding your family and your electronics.

During our Covington-focused inspections, we pay special attention to the two most frequent local issues: evidence of rodent activity around wiring and the integrity of the home's grounding system. We also check for overloaded circuits, outdated wiring like aluminum or knob-and-tube, and proper function of GFCIs and AFCIs. This comprehensive approach helps us create a complete picture of your home's electrical health and address risks unique to our community's older housing stock and local environment.
