Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes evaluating your home's surge protection. We check your main electrical panel, outlets, and the overall grounding system to identify weaknesses. For Racine homes, this is crucial as local grid fluctuations and severe weather can cause surges that silently damage appliances. We can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors and point-of-use devices to shield your valuable electronics, providing a key defense against a common local issue.

After heavy snow or ice in Racine, be alert for flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or outlets that feel warm or don't work. These can indicate damage from ice-laden branches on service lines, moisture intrusion, or an overloaded system from increased heating use. Our inspection will safely assess your interior wiring, outdoor masthead, and panel for any stress or damage caused by winter weather, ensuring your system is safe and fully functional.
