American Electric - Honesdale's Best Electrical Company

A professional electrical inspection is the safest first step. Our licensed electricians will meticulously check your attic, basement, and crawl spaces—common rodent entry points—for gnawed wire insulation, nesting materials near electrical boxes, and other damage. We identify compromised circuits that pose a fire or shock risk, allowing us to make targeted repairs before the problem escalates, which is crucial for older homes in our area.

In the Honesdale climate, moisture and aging wiring are common culprits for GFCI nuisance tripping or failure. A dedicated outlet can wear out over time, or the circuit it protects may have a fault. Our inspection tests the outlet itself and the downstream wiring to determine if you need a simple GFCI replacement or if there's a deeper issue, like hidden moisture damage, that needs to be resolved to restore safe, reliable protection.

Our repair process prioritizes safety and prevention. First, we safely de-energize the affected circuits. We then remove all damaged wiring, replace it with new, code-compliant wiring, and secure it in rodent-resistant conduit where appropriate in vulnerable areas. Finally, we thoroughly test the repaired circuit and can advise on sealing home entry points to help prevent future infestations, a key step for long-term electrical safety in our region.
