Welch Mechanical - Chatham's Reliable Electrical Contractor

Our thorough electrical inspection includes a dedicated check of all outdoor outlets, which are especially vulnerable to corrosion in our local climate. We test for proper grounding, look for moisture damage, and ensure GFCI protection is working to prevent shocks. If we find corrosion, we can safely replace the outlet and seal it against future moisture, protecting your home from potential short circuits or electrical fires.

Absolutely. In older Chatham homes, breaker panel overloads can sometimes be linked to high-demand appliances like electric water heaters. During our plumbing inspection, we assess the age and efficiency of your water heater. If it's an old, inefficient model drawing excessive power, we can recommend a more efficient replacement. This not only solves your plumbing concerns but can also reduce the electrical load on your panel, helping to prevent those nuisance trips.

We focus on the root causes common in our area. Our inspection evaluates your breaker panel's capacity versus your home's current electrical demands. We check for double-tapped breakers, improper wiring, and signs of overheating. We also assess if recent additions like appliances or electronics have overloaded the circuit. Our goal is to identify risks and provide solutions—whether it's rebalancing the load, adding a dedicated circuit, or planning for a panel upgrade—to ensure your Chatham home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
