DeLand Electrician | Lightning Surge & Wiring Inspections | MYA Alcalde Electrical

Lightning strikes and nearby power surges are common in our area and can send harmful voltage spikes through your home's wiring. Our thorough electrical inspection specifically checks the health of your grounding system, evaluates existing surge protection devices, and identifies any vulnerable circuits or appliances. We ensure your electrical panel and whole-house systems are properly bonded and grounded to safely divert surge energy, which is the best defense against the expensive damage we often see locally.

Common signs include the fan wobbling excessively, not responding to the switch or remote, making humming/buzzing sounds, flickering lights, or not working at all. These issues often stem from loose connections in the ceiling box, faulty wiring, or an incompatible switch. Given the heat and humidity in Florida, connections can degrade faster. We strongly recommend having a licensed electrician inspect it, as improper wiring is a fire hazard. Our inspection will safely diagnose and fix the problem, ensuring your fan is securely mounted and correctly wired.

Adding surge protectors to a faulty or outdated electrical system is like putting a bandage on a wound that needs stitches. Our inspection first ensures your home's foundational electrical components—like the grounding rods, panel connections, and neutral bonds—are intact and effective. If these are compromised, surge energy has no safe path to the ground, rendering new protectors ineffective. We verify your system can handle and properly disperse a surge, then recommend the right type of whole-house or point-of-use protection for your specific home's needs.
