Q&A
A recent lightning storm caused some of my outlets to stop working. What should I do?
Lightning surges can damage circuits, breakers, and wiring. First, ensure safety by not using the affected outlets. Contact MW Electric for a thorough inspection. We'll test your electrical panel, check for fried breakers, and assess wiring damage to your outlets and light fixtures. We can then perform the necessary repairs or replacements to safely restore power to those circuits.
My older Jackson home's lights keep flickering. Is this a short circuit?
Flickering lights in an older home are a common warning sign and can indicate a short circuit, loose wiring, or an overloaded circuit. These issues pose a fire risk and should be addressed immediately. Our electricians will perform a detailed inspection to locate the fault—whether in the light fixture itself, the wiring, or the circuit breaker—and provide a safe, lasting repair to ensure your home's electrical system is reliable.
How can I protect my home from future lightning surge damage?
Beyond whole-house surge protectors, a key defense is ensuring your electrical panel and grounding system are up to date. MW Electric can install or upgrade your main electric panel and breakers to modern standards, which better handle power fluctuations. We also recommend dedicated surge protection for major appliances and can install surge-protected outlets for sensitive electronics, giving your Jackson home layered protection against storm-related electrical damage.
