Electrical Contractor Evansville IN | Call Sims Electric

In Evansville, storm surges can send damaging power spikes through your home. Our electrical inspection focuses on your breaker panel for signs of arcing or corrosion, tests GFCI and AFCI outlets for proper function, and checks major appliances and your HVAC system for hidden damage. We also inspect your home's grounding system, which is critical for safety during our frequent severe weather.

A powerful electrical surge can travel through your home's metal plumbing pipes, potentially damaging connected appliances like your water heater, well pump, or garbage disposal. Our plumbing inspection checks these appliances for faults, ensures your pipes are properly bonded and grounded to prevent future issues, and looks for any leaks that may have been caused by a power event, protecting your home from water damage as well.

Yes, this is a frequent issue we see. Generator transfer switches can fail due to moisture from our humid climate, corrosion from lack of use, or damage from the same power surges they're meant to bypass. Our inspection tests the switch's mechanical operation and electrical connections, and we often find faulty contactors or control wiring. Proper installation and routine maintenance of your transfer switch are key to reliable backup power during Evansville outages.
