Licensed Electrical Repair in Charleston, WV 25303 - Universal Electric

An inspection by our licensed electricians identifies aging, damaged, or improperly installed wiring in your attic—a common issue in Charleston's older homes. We check for insulation contact, rodent damage, and overheating, which are frequent causes of short circuits. By proactively finding and fixing these hazards, we prevent potential fires and costly emergency repairs.

First, check if your neighbors have power and report the outage to your utility company. If the outage is isolated to your home, it could be a tripped breaker or damaged service equipment. Avoid touching any wet electrical components. Universal Electric provides post-storm inspections to safely diagnose issues like water damage, fallen limbs on lines, or surge damage, and we repair them to restore your power safely.

Severe weather is common in our region. A pre-storm inspection from Universal Electric ensures your electrical panel, grounding system, and outdoor connections are secure and up to code. This proactive service can identify vulnerabilities that might cause outages or hazards during high winds and heavy rain, helping to protect your home and family before bad weather hits.
