Exposed Wiring

Electrical wiring usually spans the entire roof space and exposed wiring is the most common cause of electrical mishaps in an attic. As the electrical system gets old and insulation ages, wires become more vulnerable. Exposed wires are at risk, especially if covered in insulation when it comes to power surges or overheating. This can leave your attic exposed to electrical hazards. To avoid exposed wiring, hire our certified electricians in Coventry to inspect your current electrical wiring and determine if your attic needs new electrical wires.
