MD Electric - Douglas's Top-Rated Electrical Contractor

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes checking your main service panel, grounding system, and all outlets for signs of surge damage or weakness. In our area, frequent thunderstorms can send power surges through wiring, damaging appliances and creating fire hazards. We identify compromised components, like degraded surge protectors or fried breakers, and recommend repairs or whole-house surge protection to safeguard your home against future storms.

While wobbling can be from an unbalanced blade, persistent noise or intermittent operation often points to a wiring fault in the ceiling box—a common issue we find in local homes. Loose connections, improper support, or incorrect wiring can cause overheating, humming, and even become a fire risk. Our inspection verifies the fan is correctly wired, securely mounted to a rated ceiling box, and operating safely to prevent these hazards.

For older homes, we pay special attention to systems most vulnerable to age and local issues. This includes inspecting the service panel for rust or outdated breakers, checking for aluminum wiring (common in certain eras), ensuring all outlets are properly grounded, and evaluating the integrity of wiring in attics and crawl spaces where heat and moisture take a toll. We specifically look for past lightning surge damage on panels and ensure any added ceiling fans are not overloading existing circuits.
