Expert Electrical Contractor in Charleston, SC 29492 - Frampton Electric Co

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Frampton Electric assesses your home's entire system, including the main panel, grounding, and existing surge protection. For many older Charleston homes, we find outdated panels or missing whole-house surge arrestors, which leave appliances vulnerable to damage from Lowcountry storms. Our inspection identifies these weaknesses so we can recommend and install robust surge protection, safeguarding your electronics and major appliances.

Common signs in older homes include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, outlets that feel warm, or a persistent burning smell. Many Charleston residences still have original knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which can degrade and become unsafe over decades. Our inspection evaluates the condition and capacity of your wiring, ensuring it can handle modern electrical loads and doesn't pose a fire hazard, giving you peace of mind.

While a general home inspection includes a basic electrical review, it often doesn't delve into the specialized concerns of aging Charleston homes. Our dedicated electrical inspection is far more thorough. We use advanced tools to test for faulty wiring, improper grounding, and insufficient circuit capacity—key factors behind local issues like appliance-damaging surges. It's a critical, expert evaluation tailored to the unique needs of Lowcountry properties.
