Fortner Electric - Covington's Experienced Electrical Services

Our detailed electrical inspections assess your entire system's health and grounding. We specifically check for vulnerabilities that make surge damage more likely, such as outdated panels, improper grounding rods, or lack of whole-house surge protection. By identifying these weak points, we can recommend and install targeted solutions to safeguard your home's wiring and expensive electronics from the powerful surges common during our Tennessee storms.

Rodents can chew through insulation and create serious fire hazards behind your walls. During our inspection, we meticulously examine accessible wiring in attics, crawl spaces, basements, and behind panels for signs of gnawing, nesting, or compromised insulation. We also look for potential entry points near wiring conduits. Finding and repairing this damage is crucial for preventing short circuits and electrical fires, a common concern for many homes in our area.

Yes, absolutely. Lightning strikes or nearby surges can cause hidden damage that weakens your system over time or creates immediate safety risks that aren't obvious. We recommend a post-storm inspection to check for compromised breakers, damaged grounding systems, and latent issues within outlets or appliances. This proactive approach, based on our local experience, can prevent more costly repairs or dangerous failures down the line.
