Perkins Electric - Homestead's Professional Electricians

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Perkins Electric identifies weak points in your home's defense against surges, which are common here in Homestead due to frequent storms. We check your main service panel, grounding system, and existing surge protection devices. We then recommend and install appropriate whole-house or point-of-use surge protectors to safeguard your expensive electronics and appliances from the next powerful lightning strike.

Absolutely. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are sensitive safety devices that can trip due to minor, hard-to-find issues like nicked wire insulation, loose connections, or even appliances with worn motors. Our detailed electrical inspection meticulously traces the circuit to locate the source of the nuisance trip—common in many Homestead homes—and provides a clear solution to restore safe, reliable power without disabling this critical safety feature.

For Homestead homeowners, our inspection focuses on storm-related vulnerabilities and modern safety code compliance. We specifically evaluate: 1) The adequacy of your grounding and bonding for surge dissipation, 2) The condition of wiring for any damage that could cause arc faults, 3) The functionality of GFCIs and AFCIs, especially in moisture-prone areas, and 4) The overall system load to ensure it can handle our climate's heavy AC usage. This local-focused approach ensures your system is prepared for South Florida's specific demands.
