Trusted Electrical Repair in Louisville, CO 80027 - Watlow Electric

Rodents chewing on wiring is a common issue here, especially in attics. Our electrical inspection includes a detailed examination of your attic space. We look for gnawed insulation, exposed copper, and damaged sheathing that can create fire hazards or cause circuits to fail. Identifying this damage early allows us to safely repair or replace the compromised sections before they lead to bigger problems, ensuring your home's safety.

Yes, an outdated fuse box is a legitimate safety concern. These older systems weren't designed for today's electrical demands and can be a fire risk. Our inspection assesses the condition of your fuse panel, checks for proper grounding, and evaluates your home's overall electrical load. We'll provide a clear, expert recommendation on whether a simple service upgrade or a full panel replacement to a modern circuit breaker system is necessary for your safety and convenience.

For older homes in our area, our inspection goes beyond the basics. We specifically check for: 1) Knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum wiring, which are common in historic homes and pose safety risks. 2) The capacity and condition of the main service panel (like old fuse boxes). 3) Signs of previous rodent activity affecting wiring in attics, crawlspaces, and basements. 4) Adequacy of outlets and grounding in kitchens and bathrooms. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your home's electrical health.
