Harris Electric - Edwardsville's Trusted Electrical Company

Absolutely. A core part of our inspection involves assessing your home's defense against power surges, which are a frequent issue in our area. We check your main electrical panel, wiring condition, and existing surge protection. We'll identify if your system is vulnerable and recommend solutions—like installing whole-house surge protectors—to shield your appliances and electronics from damaging voltage spikes.

For older homes in Edwardsville, we pay special attention to signs of aging wiring that can be a fire hazard or cause power issues. Our inspection checks for outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, brittle or damaged insulation, improperly sized circuits for modern loads, and overloaded panels. We'll give you a clear picture of your system's health and a prioritized plan to update it for safety and reliability.

While checking for obvious issues is good, a professional inspection by a licensed electrician like Harris Electric digs much deeper. We have the training and tools to safely assess hidden risks within walls and panels that a homeowner might miss. Given the local prevalence of aging infrastructure and surge damage, our expert evaluation is the best way to get a complete, accurate understanding of your home's electrical safety and to prevent costly problems down the line.
