Licensed Electrical Company in Denver, CO 80229 - Resolute Electrical Services

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Resolute Electrical Services is the best first step. We'll test the GFCI outlets themselves, check the connected circuits for faults or moisture intrusion (common in basements and bathrooms), and ensure your home's grounding system is functioning correctly. Often, a tripping GFCI is a symptom of a deeper wiring issue or a ground fault that our expert inspection can pinpoint and resolve.

First, ensure your safety by not using the affected outlets. Lightning surges can damage internal wiring, outlets, and even your electrical panel. We recommend scheduling an electrical inspection immediately. Our electricians will assess the extent of the surge damage, identify any compromised circuits or components, and provide a clear repair plan. We can also discuss installing whole-house surge protection to safeguard your home against future Colorado storms.

For general safety and preventative maintenance, we recommend an inspection every 3-5 years for older homes (30+ years) and when purchasing a new home. Given Denver's climate with frequent lightning, if you don't have surge protection, an inspection after a major storm is wise. Regular inspections help catch issues like deteriorating wiring, outdated panels, and insufficient GFCI protection—common in our area—before they lead to outages or hazards.
