J & R Electrical Service - Little Rock's Trusted Electrical Company

Lightning can cause hidden damage to your electrical panel, circuits, and attic wiring. We recommend starting with a comprehensive electrical inspection. Our licensed electricians will check your panel for surge damage, test all circuits for safety, and inspect attic wiring for melted insulation or short circuits, which are common after such events in Little Rock.

Yes, attic wiring in older Little Rock homes is a common source of short circuits due to aging insulation, rodent damage, or overheating. Our electricians can safely diagnose the issue through specialized testing and repair the damaged wire runs. We often recommend upgrading the affected circuit and adding protective measures to prevent future problems.

It depends on the extent of the damage. We will perform a detailed assessment of your panel and breakers. While minor repairs on modern panels are sometimes possible, significant surge damage often compromises the panel's safety and capacity. For many Little Rock homes, we recommend a panel upgrade to a new, higher-capacity model to ensure safety and accommodate modern electrical demands.
