Clarkston Electrician | Electrical Inspection & Grounding Repair | Boston Electric

Many power surges originate from within your home due to an improperly grounded electrical system. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically checks the integrity of your grounding and bonding. We identify any faults or deficiencies that could allow a surge to travel through your wiring and damage sensitive electronics. By correcting these issues, we help create a safe path for excess electricity to disperse, significantly reducing the risk of internal surge damage to your appliances.

During our inspection in your Clarkston home, we look for several key indicators: frequent breaker trips, tingling sensations from appliances, outlets that are two-pronged instead of three-pronged (grounded), and the absence of GFCI outlets in required wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms. We also test the main grounding electrode system and check for corroded connections. Identifying these issues early is crucial for preventing appliance damage and ensuring overall electrical safety.

While plug-in surge protectors are helpful, they only address surges coming from outside your home via the power lines. The improper grounding common in our area often causes surges *inside* your home's wiring, which standard protectors can't stop. Our inspection gets to the root cause by evaluating your entire system's grounding. Fixing the foundational issue provides whole-house protection, making any additional surge protection devices far more effective and giving you comprehensive safety for all your appliances.
