Absolutely. Our detailed electrical inspection includes evaluating your home's surge protection, grounding system, and main service panel. We identify potential weak points that leave your appliances vulnerable to damage from the kind of power fluctuations common in our area. Based on our findings, we can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors or upgrade outdated components to safeguard your valuable electronics and appliances.

Yes, diagnosing persistent arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) trips is a common part of our service. During an inspection, our electricians will trace the circuit to pinpoint the source of the arc fault, which could be caused by damaged wire insulation, a loose connection, or a faulty appliance. We'll find the specific problem—whether it's in an outlet, switch, or the wiring itself—and provide a clear, safe repair to restore reliable power and maintain your home's critical safety protection.

For older homes, our inspection is particularly thorough. We check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, assess the capacity and safety of your electrical panel, test all grounding and bonding systems, and verify that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are properly interconnected and powered. We focus on identifying issues that not only cause nuisance trips or surges but also pose fire or shock risks, providing you with a prioritized plan to modernize your electrical system for safety and reliability.
