Common Questions
How can an electrical inspection from Rex Electric protect my Wilmington home from power surges?
Our detailed electrical inspection focuses on your home's wiring integrity, grounding, and existing surge protection. We identify weak points where a surge—common from our local grid or lightning—could enter and damage appliances. Based on our findings, we recommend targeted upgrades, like installing whole-house surge protectors at your main panel, to safeguard your valuable electronics and give you peace of mind during coastal storms.
What does your inspection check for regarding lightning surge damage, a frequent issue in our area?
Wilmington's weather makes lightning protection crucial. Our inspection specifically evaluates your home's grounding electrode system, the condition of lightning rods if present, and the bonding of all major metallic systems. We ensure there is a low-resistance path to safely divert a lightning strike's massive energy into the ground, away from your structure and wiring, significantly reducing the risk of fire or catastrophic appliance damage.
If my appliances were already damaged by a surge, should I still get an electrical inspection?
Absolutely. An inspection after surge damage is critical. It helps us determine the root cause—whether it was an internal wiring fault or an external event—and assess if your electrical system sustained hidden damage that could pose a future fire hazard. We'll repair any compromised wiring and install proper surge protection to prevent a recurrence, ensuring your Wilmington home is safe and your new appliances are protected.
