Q&A

How can an electrical inspection help protect my Memphis home from lightning surge damage?

A professional electrical inspection by Overton Electric assesses your entire system's health, focusing on surge protection pathways, grounding integrity, and vulnerable wiring. We identify components weakened by past surges and recommend upgrades like whole-house surge protectors to safeguard your appliances and prevent fire hazards common after Memphis storms.

What should I do if I suspect water has gotten into my outlets after heavy rain in Memphis?

First, turn off power to the affected area at your breaker panel and avoid using those outlets. Contact Overton Electric immediately. Our inspection will safely evaluate the extent of water intrusion, check for corrosion or short-circuit risks, and replace damaged components. We can also advise on preventative measures, like installing weatherproof covers, suited for our local climate.

Why is a professional electrical inspection recommended for older Memphis homes?

Older homes in our area often have outdated wiring that may not be equipped to handle modern electrical loads or the cumulative effects of years of lightning surges and humidity. Our inspection uncovers hidden issues like deteriorated insulation, inadequate grounding, or moisture damage in junction boxes, providing a clear plan to update your system for safety and efficiency.
