S and M Electric - Wilmington's Experienced Electrical Contractor

Absolutely. Many Wilmington homes experience power surges that can silently damage expensive appliances. Our detailed electrical inspection includes checking your home's grounding, evaluating the main service panel, and assessing surge protection. We identify vulnerabilities in your system and recommend solutions, such as whole-house surge protectors, to safeguard your appliances from the erratic power fluctuations common in our area.

Safety first—avoid touching the affected area and call a professional immediately. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination that can lead to shorts, fires, or shock hazards. S and M Electric's inspection service is crucial here. We will safely assess the extent of the water damage to your electrical boxes, wiring, and breakers, and provide a clear plan for repairs or replacements to restore safe, reliable power to your home.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a home. Given local issues like aging infrastructure and weather-related water damage, being proactive is key. An inspection is also wise after any major renovation, a significant power surge event, or if you're adding high-demand appliances. Our inspection provides peace of mind by catching small problems before they become major safety hazards or cause costly appliance failures.
