McRae R H Electrical Contractors - Rockingham's Qualified Electrical Contractor

A professional electrical inspection is crucial after a lightning storm. While surge protectors help, a direct or nearby strike can send a powerful surge through your wiring, damaging appliances, outlets, and even your main panel. Our inspection checks for hidden damage, compromised connections, and weakened components that aren't always obvious, ensuring your Rockingham home's electrical system is safe and preventing future failures or fire risks.

In our area, rodents like squirrels or mice can chew through wiring insulation. Key signs include flickering lights, outlets or switches that stop working intermittently, a burning smell near walls, or even tripped breakers with no clear cause. If you notice these issues, especially in an attic, basement, or crawl space, it's time for an inspection. We'll safely locate and repair the damaged sections to restore safety and prevent potential electrical fires.

Yes, absolutely. Given our area's susceptibility to lightning, we strongly recommend whole-house surge protection. This device is installed at your main electrical panel and acts as a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage surges from lightning or grid fluctuations away from your home's wiring and expensive electronics. An electrical inspection will determine the best protection strategy for your specific home, providing peace of mind during our storm seasons.
