Licensed Electrical Company in Quincy, IL 62305 - Powell Brothers Plumbing and Electric

Our electrical inspection is a thorough safety check designed for Quincy's older and newer homes alike. We examine your main service panel for proper amperage and safe connections, test all outlets and GFCIs, inspect wiring for signs of wear or improper DIY work, and assess your grounding system. This is especially important for protecting against the power surges common in our area. The inspection provides a clear report on any immediate hazards, like overloaded circuits, and offers practical recommendations for upgrades or maintenance to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.

Quincy's homes have a wide range of plumbing systems and ages. A professional inspection from our licensed team goes beyond checking for leaks. We use sewer camera technology to inspect the condition of underground lines for root intrusion or cracks, evaluate water pressure, check for proper gas line connections on appliances, and assess the water heater and sump pump. This proactive step can uncover hidden issues like major drain line problems or outdated piping, giving you peace of mind and potentially saving you from costly surprises after your move.

Absolutely. Power surges and voltage spikes are a frequent issue in our region and can damage sensitive electronics and appliances. We can assess your home's current protection. Often, the solution involves installing whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel, which acts as a first line of defense for your entire home's wiring. We may also recommend adding point-of-use surge protectors for specific high-value electronics. Our approach addresses the root cause, safeguarding your Quincy home's electrical system and your valuable devices from future surges.
