Herron Electric | Experienced Electrical Company in Grand Rapids, MI

Faulty or aging wiring in ceiling boxes is a common culprit for fan failures. Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes checking the wiring integrity, box stability, and switch controls for all ceiling fans. We identify issues like loose connections or incorrect wire gauges that can cause overheating and failure, allowing us to make safe repairs before your fan stops working, preventing potential fire hazards and restoring comfort to your rooms.

Yes, absolutely. Part of our inspection involves evaluating your home's entire electrical system, including its defense against surges. We check the main service panel for a whole-house surge protector and test existing outlets for proper grounding. If we find vulnerabilities—common in older Grand Rapids homes—we can recommend and install the right level of surge protection to shield your refrigerator, HVAC system, computers, and other valuable appliances from damaging voltage spikes.

We perform a detailed, room-by-room assessment tailored to common local issues. Beyond checking for ceiling fan and surge protection risks, we inspect for overloaded circuits, outdated wiring (like knob-and-tube common in historic areas), faulty GFCI/AFCI outlets required by modern code for safety, improper outdoor wiring, and any signs of past DIY repairs that may not be up to standard. Our goal is to give you a complete picture of your home's electrical health and safety.
