LS Electric Corp - Brooklyn's Trusted Electrical Company

Our detailed electrical inspection includes a thorough evaluation of your home's surge protection. We check your main service panel for proper surge protection devices and assess the condition of your grounding system. For older Brooklyn homes with fluctuating voltage, we can identify weak points in your wiring that make appliances vulnerable. By recommending and installing appropriate whole-house or point-of-use surge protectors, we create a defense system to absorb unexpected voltage spikes, protecting your expensive electronics and appliances from damage.

Brooklyn's proximity to the water means higher humidity and salt air, which accelerates corrosion on metal components like outdoor outlet covers and internal contacts. Corroded outlets are a serious shock and fire hazard. During our inspection, we specifically examine all outdoor receptacles for signs of rust, moisture damage, and proper sealing. We ensure they are GFCI-protected, which is a critical safety code requirement in damp locations. If we find corrosion, we can replace the outlet with a weather-resistant, in-use cover to keep your outdoor power sources safe and functional.

We perform a neighborhood-focused inspection tailored to Brooklyn's common problems. For surge protection, we test outlet voltage, inspect your panel for old or missing surge arrestors, and evaluate your wiring's integrity. For outdoor safety, we check for proper GFCI function on all exterior and wet-area outlets, look for corrosion or water intrusion, and verify that covers are weather-tight. We also assess the overall load on your system, as older homes with added modern appliances are more susceptible to surges. Our goal is to give you a clear, prioritized report to prevent damage and ensure safety.
