Experienced Electrical Contractor in Winfield, IL 60190 - Thomas Electric

Many Winfield homes built during certain eras used aluminum wiring, which can become a fire hazard over time as connections loosen and corrode. A professional electrical inspection from Thomas Electric will specifically check for these outdated and potentially dangerous connections, assess their condition, and recommend necessary upgrades, such as COPALUM crimp repairs or full rewiring, to ensure your home's safety.

Absolutely. Our local climate can contribute to moisture-related corrosion at the electrical meter base, which is the critical connection point between ComEd's service and your home. This corrosion can lead to power flickers, overheating, and even fire. During our inspection, we thoroughly examine the meter base and mast for signs of wear and corrosion, alerting you to issues before they cause a failure or become a safety hazard.

Our comprehensive inspection is tailored for local needs. We examine your home's entire electrical system, including the service panel (breaker box) for correct amperage and safe connections, all wiring (with a focus on identifying aluminum wiring), outlets and switches for proper function and grounding, the meter base and mast for corrosion, and all major appliances' dedicated circuits. We provide a detailed report outlining any code violations, safety issues like the ones common in our area, and recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
