Questions and Answers

What are the signs my home in Houghton might need an electrical inspection for aging wiring?

Common signs in older Houghton homes include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, outlets that feel warm, a burning smell from outlets or switches, or a system that hasn't been inspected in over a decade. An inspection from Tim Hanson Electric can identify worn insulation, outdated components, and overloaded circuits before they become a safety hazard.

Why would my outlets overheat, and how can an inspection help?

Overheated outlets in Houghton homes are often caused by loose connections, outdated wiring unable to handle modern appliance loads, or circuit overloads. Our electrical inspection includes thermal imaging and a thorough check of all connections to pinpoint the exact cause. We then provide a clear repair plan to eliminate the fire risk and restore safe, reliable power.
