Prime S&R: Qualified Electrical Company Serving Fort Myers 33967

In our area, a frequently tripping breaker is often a warning sign of an overloaded panel, which is a common issue in Fort Myers due to older electrical systems meeting modern power demands. It's more than an annoyance—it's a potential fire hazard. At Prime S&R, we can perform a detailed electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity. We often recommend a panel upgrade or installing dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances to safely distribute power and eliminate the nuisance trips, protecting your home.

Absolutely. Given our frequent lightning storms, point-of-use surge protectors (like power strips) aren't enough. A whole-house surge protector, installed by our licensed electricians directly at your main electrical panel, acts as a first line of defense. It diverts massive voltage spikes from lightning and grid fluctuations safely to the ground before they enter your home's wiring. This protects every connected appliance, your electrical panel, and costly devices like EV chargers from the surge damage common in Southwest Florida.

This is a classic sign of lightning surge damage, which we see often in Fort Myers. The surge can fry wiring, outlets, and even damage the internal connections in your light fixtures. It's crucial not to use these circuits. Contact Prime S&R for a safety inspection. Our electricians will trace the damaged circuit, safely replace compromised outlets, switches, or fixtures, and check your panel for hidden damage. We can also install new surge protection to prevent this from happening again after the next storm.
