Tec Electric | Reliable Electrical Company in Somerset, NJ

Our detailed inspection includes a full assessment of your grounding system. We check your main service panel ground, all outlet grounds, and the connection to your grounding rod. In Somerset's older neighborhoods, we often find undersized or corroded grounding conductors. We'll identify any deficiencies, explain the risks (like appliance damage or shock hazard), and provide a clear plan to bring your system up to the National Electrical Code, ensuring your family's safety.

Yes, flickering lights, especially during wet weather, are a classic symptom of moisture penetrating damaged underground service cables—a common issue in our area. Our inspection process goes beyond the walls. We'll perform voltage tests at your main panel and trace the service back to the utility connection point. If the problem originates underground, we'll identify the fault location and coordinate with the utility or provide a repair quote for the section on your property, solving the persistent flicker at its source.

Focusing on Somerset's common issues, our inspection prioritizes key areas: We meticulously test all grounding points and bonds, inspect the service entrance cables (both overhead and underground sections) for damage or corrosion, and evaluate your main panel's condition and capacity. We also check for proper GFCI protection in wet areas—crucial for safety. You'll receive a prioritized report detailing any improper grounding or cable integrity issues we find, with straightforward recommendations for repair.
