Arc Electric Service - Morgantown's Licensed Electrical Services

Our thorough inspection covers your entire electrical system, focusing on common issues in aging homes like outdated knob-and-tube wiring, overloaded circuits, faulty breakers, and insufficient grounding. We check for safety hazards, assess if your system can handle modern appliance loads, and provide a clear report with prioritized recommendations to bring your home up to current National Electrical Code standards.

Absolutely. During an inspection, we evaluate your home's surge protection. We check the main panel for a whole-house surge protector and assess the condition of your grounding system. If deficiencies are found, we can install proper surge protection devices. This is a crucial safeguard in Morgantown, as it helps protect expensive appliances like refrigerators, HVAC systems, and electronics from voltage spikes that can cause immediate or cumulative damage.

For most homes in our area, we recommend a professional inspection every 5-10 years, or before a major renovation or purchasing a new appliance. Older homes (40+ years) or those that have experienced frequent tripping breakers, flickering lights, or buzzing outlets should be inspected sooner. Regular inspections are a proactive way to catch small issues before they become major safety hazards or lead to expensive repairs.
