Key Electric - Greenville's Professional Electrical Repair

Yes, it's a common issue here. Lightning strikes can send power surges through your home's wiring, damaging outlets, switches, and even your main electrical panel. Key Electric can perform a thorough inspection to identify and repair any surge-damaged components, and we often recommend installing whole-house surge protectors at your panel to prevent future damage.

Unfortunately, that's a strong possibility. Rodents in the Upstate often chew on electrical wiring insulation, which can cause shorts, flickering lights, and even fire hazards. Our electricians can safely inspect your attic, crawlspace, and wall cavities, repair any rodent-damaged wires, and recommend sealing entry points to protect your home's electrical system from future pest issues.

No, repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker can be dangerous and is often a sign of a deeper problem like surge damage or compromised wiring. In Greenville, where lightning is frequent, this could indicate damage to the breaker itself or the circuits it protects. It's best to have a Key Electric technician diagnose the cause—whether it's a faulty breaker, overloaded circuit, or surge damage—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to ensure your home's safety.
