Current Electric: Trusted Electrical Contractor Serving Port Townsend 98368

Arc fault breakers in older Port Townsend homes can trip due to aging wiring, moisture in outlets, or even certain appliances. Our electrical inspection identifies the specific cause—like a worn wire behind a wall or a faulty connection—so we can make a precise repair, not just a reset. This stops the nuisance trips and, more importantly, addresses the potential fire hazard they're designed to detect.

Absolutely. Many surges originate inside the home from large appliances cycling on/off or from faulty wiring. Our inspection evaluates your entire electrical system's grounding and bonding, checks for proper surge protection at the panel, and identifies any internal wiring issues that could cause damaging spikes. We then recommend and install solutions like whole-house surge protectors to shield all your electronics.

We'll first inspect your main electrical panel and grounding system for damage or deficiencies that allowed the surge to enter. We then check the wiring and outlets on the circuit that fed the damaged appliance to ensure they're still safe. Finally, we assess your need for upgraded surge protection to prevent future incidents. This comprehensive approach fixes the immediate problem and fortifies your home against the next surge.
