Paul's Electric Service | Expert Electrical Company in Mount Pleasant, NC

Our thorough electrical inspections specifically assess your home's surge protection devices and overall system integrity. We check for proper installation of surge protectors at the main panel and key appliances, which is critical in our lightning-prone area. We also evaluate your home's grounding—a common weak point—to ensure it can safely divert a surge away from your wiring and electronics, preventing costly damage.

Improper grounding is a serious safety hazard we frequently find. Our inspection includes testing your electrical system's grounding electrode system and ensuring all outlets are properly grounded. We verify that the grounding connection to earth is intact and meets current NEC codes. This not only protects against surges but also prevents shock hazards and ensures your GFCI outlets and breakers function correctly to keep your family safe.

Older homes in our community often have outdated wiring that may not be properly grounded or equipped to handle modern electrical loads and surge risks. Our inspection identifies these aging components, such as old two-wire systems without a ground, and assesses the entire system's capacity and safety. This proactive check helps us recommend targeted upgrades to prevent fire risks and equipment failure due to the local issues of surges and faulty grounding.
