Settle Electric and Hvac - Louisville's Reliable Electrical Company

A thorough electrical inspection by Settle Electric checks the entire integrity of your home's electrical system, including the critical connections to your generator transfer switch. We test for loose wiring, corrosion, and proper grounding—common issues in our climate that can cause the switch to fail when you need it most. Catching these problems during an inspection allows for a simple repair, ensuring your backup power kicks in reliably during a Louisville storm or outage.

During an inspection, our Louisville electricians specifically evaluate your home's defense against power surges. We check the condition of your main electrical panel, look for proper grounding, and assess whether you have whole-house or point-of-use surge protection installed. Given the local grid's susceptibility to surges from storms or grid switching, we'll identify any weak points and recommend solutions, like upgrading outdated panels or installing surge protectors, to shield your valuable appliances from damage.

Absolutely. If a surge has already damaged appliances, it's a clear sign your home's electrical defenses are compromised. Simply replacing the appliances without an inspection risks immediate damage to the new units. Our inspection will diagnose the root cause—such as a faulty panel, poor grounding, or lack of surge protection—and fix it. This ensures your replacement appliances, and the rest of your home's electronics, are safe from future Louisville power surges.
