Snellgrove Auto Electric - Covington's Professional Electrical Contractor

Our inspections specifically check for proper surge protection devices (SPDs) at your main electrical panel and at key appliances. Given our local weather, we assess if your current protection is adequate to handle a direct or nearby lightning strike, which is a common issue here. We'll identify vulnerabilities and recommend whole-home or point-of-use surge protectors to safeguard your electronics and prevent costly damage.

Improper grounding is a serious safety hazard we frequently find. Our inspection tests your electrical outlets for correct wiring and grounding, checks your main service panel's grounding electrode system (like rods or clamps), and ensures all metal components are properly bonded. This prevents electric shock hazards and ensures your safety devices, like circuit breakers, will work correctly during a fault, which is crucial for family safety.

You'll receive a thorough, easy-to-understand report detailing the condition of your wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding systems. We highlight any immediate safety concerns, like the improper grounding common here, and provide prioritized recommendations for repairs or upgrades, such as adding surge protection. Think of it as a roadmap to a safer, more reliable home electrical system tailored to our local Georgia building codes and common issues.
