Kutztown Electrician | Electrical Inspections for Surge & Rodent Damage | Lowry Electric

Absolutely. A key part of our inspection involves evaluating your home's surge protection. We check your main electrical panel and recommend whole-house surge protectors if needed. This is crucial in our area, as it diverts dangerous voltage spikes from utility lines or internal sources away from your sensitive electronics, providing a first line of defense that power strips alone cannot match.

We perform a detailed visual inspection of accessible wiring in attics, basements, and crawlspaces—common entry points for pests in Kutztown-area homes. We look for chewed insulation, nesting materials, and droppings near wires. Using thermal imaging and other tools, we can also detect hidden hot spots caused by damaged conductors. Finding and repairing this damage is vital to preventing short circuits and potential fires.

Older homes often have outdated wiring that may not handle modern electrical loads, increasing the risk of surges or overheating. More specifically, they are susceptible to the two big local issues: decades of potential rodent intrusion can compromise old wiring, and outdated panels lack modern surge protection. Our inspection gives you a clear picture of the system's safety and functionality, so you can address hazards before they become costly emergencies.
