Charles H Bryson | Experienced Electrical Company in Medford, NY

Our detailed inspection assesses your entire electrical system, focusing on the main service panel, grounding, and existing surge protection. For Medford homes, we specifically check for vulnerabilities that can lead to appliance damage when power is restored after an outage. We can then install or upgrade whole-house surge protectors, which act as a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage spikes away from your valuable electronics and appliances.

After the utility restores power, it's wise to first turn off major appliances at the breaker or unplug them. Then, gradually restore power room by room. If you notice flickering lights, a burning smell, or if an appliance isn't working, do not use it. These can be signs of surge damage or wiring issues. Call us for a safety inspection; we can diagnose any hidden damage to your wiring or outlets to prevent a potential fire hazard.

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection for Medford homeowners is evaluating your system for safe generator connection. We check your electrical panel's capacity and condition, and ensure you have—or we can install—a proper transfer switch. This prevents back-feeding power to the grid, which is extremely dangerous for utility workers and can damage your home's wiring. A proper setup ensures your generator powers your home safely during an extended outage.
