Common Questions
Why does my Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) keep tripping in my Montevallo home, and how can an inspection help?
Frequent AFCI trips are common in our area and are often caused by aging wiring, damaged cords, or appliances with faulty motors. Our electrical inspection pinpoints the exact circuit and cause, whether it's a simple fix or a sign of a more serious wiring issue. We'll provide a clear diagnosis and repair to restore safe, reliable power and prevent potential fire hazards.
Can a whole-home surge protector prevent lightning damage to my electrical system?
Yes. While no system can stop a direct lightning strike, a professionally installed whole-home surge protector, which we can evaluate during an inspection, provides a critical first line of defense. It diverts massive voltage surges from storms—common in Alabama—away from your home's wiring and expensive electronics, significantly reducing the risk of damage.
What should I do after a lightning storm causes electrical issues in my home?
First, ensure safety by checking for obvious damage like smoke or burning smells. Then, contact Dawson Electric for a comprehensive electrical inspection. We'll assess your entire system for hidden surge damage that can weaken wiring and outlets over time, recommending necessary repairs or upgrades to prevent future problems and ensure your home's electrical integrity.
