The Mad Electrician | Experienced Electrical Services in Rutland, MA

Our electrical inspections provide a thorough evaluation of your home's entire electrical system. We check for proper grounding, assess the condition of wiring and panels, test outlets and switches, and ensure all safety devices like GFCIs are functioning correctly. Given the age and common construction of many homes in the Rutland area, we pay special attention to grounding systems and look for any signs of wiring damage that could compromise safety.

Yes, absolutely. During our inspection, we carefully examine accessible wiring in attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common entry points for pests in our region. We look for telltale signs of gnawing, nesting materials near wiring, or any exposed conductors. Identifying this damage is crucial for preventing short circuits and fire hazards, and we can provide a clear plan for repairing the affected wiring and securing the area to prevent future issues.

Proper grounding is a fundamental safety feature that directs stray electrical current safely into the earth, preventing shocks and protecting your appliances. In older Massachusetts homes, grounding systems can be outdated or non-existent, posing a significant risk. Our inspection verifies the integrity of your home's grounding. If issues are found, we have the experience to upgrade your system to meet modern safety standards, giving you peace of mind.
