Brian Murphy | Expert Electrical Services in Newport News, VA

An inspection by Brian Murphy assesses your home's entire electrical defense system. We check your main service panel, grounding, and individual circuits to ensure they are properly configured to handle voltage spikes. We can identify if you need whole-house surge protection or if existing protectors are outdated, helping shield your expensive appliances from the damage commonly caused by local grid fluctuations.

For older Newport News homes, our inspection focuses on safety-critical components we often find need updating. This includes checking for outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, ensuring circuits aren't overloaded by modern appliances, verifying proper grounding, and inspecting insulation for brittleness or damage. We provide a clear report on any conditions that pose a fire or shock risk, so you can prioritize repairs.

You can expect a thorough, neighborly evaluation. We'll visually examine your service panel, outlets, switches, and visible wiring. We'll test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs), check for proper grounding, and assess the overall load on your system. Our goal is to give you a straightforward understanding of your home's electrical health and any recommended next steps to ensure safety.
