Given's Electric - Frederick's Experienced Electrical Company

Our thorough electrical inspection focuses on your home's first line of defense: the grounding and surge protection systems. We test your main electrical panel's grounding to ensure it can safely divert a lightning strike's massive energy into the earth. We also check for and recommend whole-house surge protectors, which are crucial in our area to prevent damaging voltage spikes from reaching your appliances and wiring, saving you from expensive replacements.

Overheated outlets are a serious fire hazard and are often caused by loose wiring connections, overloaded circuits, or outdated components that can't handle modern electrical demands. Our inspection includes thermal imaging and load testing to pinpoint exactly which outlets or circuits are overheating and why. We then provide a clear plan to repair the faulty wiring or upgrade the circuit to ensure your family's safety.

For Frederick's older homes, we pay special attention to aging knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, outdated fuse boxes, and insufficient grounding—all common factors in surge vulnerability and overheating. We check the ampacity of your service panel to ensure it meets today's needs, inspect all connections for corrosion or looseness, and verify that GFCI protection is installed in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms, as required by modern safety codes.
