ShockWizard Electrical - Lancaster's Trusted Electrical Company

Loose connections in outlets, switches, or panels are a common issue in our area, often caused by the natural settling of older homes and temperature fluctuations. Our detailed electrical inspection includes thermal imaging and physical checks to identify hotspots and loose terminals you can't see. We tighten these connections to prevent arcing, overheating, and potential fire hazards, giving you a safer, more reliable electrical system.

Absolutely. Our inspections evaluate your home's entire defense system against surges. We check the main service panel for a whole-house surge protector and inspect individual outlets for proper grounding. For Lancaster homes, we often recommend installing or upgrading surge protection devices to safeguard your expensive electronics and appliances from the voltage spikes common in our electrical grid.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for routine safety, or whenever you purchase an older home. Given Lancaster's historic housing stock and the specific issues of loose connections and surges, being proactive is key. You should also schedule an inspection before a major renovation or if you're adding significant new appliances, to ensure your existing system can handle the load safely.
