The Dalles Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Surge Protection | Leaco Electric

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection by Leaco Electric can identify if your home lacks proper surge protection at the main panel or at individual outlets. Many older homes in our area aren't equipped to handle modern electrical loads and grid fluctuations common in the Gorge. We can install whole-house surge protectors and recommend point-of-use devices to safeguard expensive appliances like refrigerators and HVAC systems from the damaging effects of local power surges.

Yes, and we encourage it. Our electricians frequently help homeowners in The Dalles correct unsafe DIY work. We provide a non-judgmental, professional inspection to assess the situation, ensure it meets National Electrical Code standards, and make it safe. Fixing improper wiring or connections is crucial to preventing fire hazards and ensuring your home's electrical system functions reliably. Your safety is our priority.

For The Dalles' many historic and older homes, our inspection focuses on safety upgrades and modern demands. We check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum, overloaded circuits, improper grounding, the condition of your electrical panel, and the absence of GFCI outlets in wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms. We also evaluate your system's capacity to handle additional appliances and recommend solutions to prevent the overloads that lead to surges and damage.
