Electrical Repair Myrtle Beach SC | Call Dillon Electric

Absolutely. During an electrical inspection, our licensed electricians perform a thermal scan to identify outlets that are running hotter than normal, a common precursor to a serious problem. In Myrtle Beach's older homes, this can be due to outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. We'll pinpoint the exact cause and provide a safe, permanent fix to protect your home.

This is a very common issue in our coastal area. Salt air and humidity cause rapid corrosion on standard outdoor outlets, leading to failure and shock hazards. Our inspection includes checking all exterior receptacles for proper GFCI protection and signs of corrosion. We can then recommend and install weather-resistant, corrosion-proof outlets specifically rated for our Myrtle Beach environment.

If an outlet feels warm to the touch or shows any discoloration (often brown or black around the plug slots), it's a sign of a serious electrical fault and potential fire risk. Turn off power to that circuit at your breaker panel immediately and contact us. Do not use the outlet. Our emergency electricians can perform a targeted inspection to diagnose the issue—often a loose connection or faulty wiring—and make the necessary repairs to ensure your safety.
