About Murden Electric in Murphy, NC

In our mountain area, storms and power fluctuations are common. A properly installed automatic transfer switch is critical because it safely and instantly switches your home's power from the utility grid to your backup generator, protecting your appliances and preventing dangerous back-feeding into power lines. Murden Electric specializes in diagnosing and repairing transfer switch issues, as well as installing new, code-compliant systems to ensure your generator operates reliably when you need it most.

First, ensure safety by turning off power to affected circuits at the breaker panel if it's safe to do so. Lightning strikes can cause hidden damage to wiring, outlets, and appliances that may not be immediately obvious. We recommend calling Murden Electric for a thorough electrical inspection. Our team can identify and repair surge damage, upgrade surge protection for your main panel, and help safeguard your home's electrical system against future storms common in our region.
