Smoak Electric - Sylvania's Qualified Electrical Contractor

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes testing your home's grounding system, checking for proper surge protection at the main panel, and evaluating the condition of your wiring. We identify vulnerabilities that can lead to damaging power surges and recommend solutions—like installing whole-house surge protectors—to shield your refrigerator, HVAC system, and other major appliances, saving you from costly replacements.

For Sylvania homes with generators, our inspection specifically tests the automatic or manual transfer switch for safe and reliable operation. We verify correct installation, check for corrosion or wear, and ensure it properly isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage. This prevents back-feeding, protects utility workers, and guarantees your generator powers your home safely when you need it most.

Older homes in our area often have outdated wiring that can't handle modern electrical loads, increasing the risk of surges, fires, or switch failures. Our inspection provides a complete safety assessment, revealing hidden issues like aluminum wiring, insufficient circuits, or faulty panels. This gives you peace of mind and a clear understanding of any necessary repairs before you buy, preventing unexpected problems down the road.
