Precision Electric - Colorado Springs's Professional Electrical Services

Our thorough inspection evaluates your home's entire electrical system, including the main panel, wiring, and existing surge protectors. We identify weak points where a power surge from a nearby lightning strike could enter, potentially damaging appliances and electronics. We then recommend and install whole-home surge protection solutions specifically rated for our area's storm intensity, creating a robust defense to safeguard your valuable equipment.

This is a common and critical question. Many older homes in our area weren't built for the sustained, high-demand load of an EV charger, which can lead to circuit overloads and fire hazards. Our electrical inspection includes a detailed load calculation on your panel and circuits. We'll determine if your system has the capacity or if an upgrade is needed to ensure safe, reliable charging without tripping breakers or overheating wires.

Our inspection is tailored to local risks. We check the service entry grounding, the condition of your main electrical panel and breakers, the integrity of wiring throughout the home, and test all GFCI and AFCI outlets—your first line of defense against faults. We specifically assess circuit loading to prevent overloads from devices like EV chargers and evaluate the need for upgraded surge protection at the panel to mitigate lightning-related damage common in the Pikes Peak region.
