Lubbock Electrical Inspections | Surge Damage Prevention | Todd Electric

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection allows our technicians to evaluate your home's grounding system, service panel integrity, and overall wiring condition—all critical factors in how well your home handles a lightning strike or power surge. We can identify vulnerabilities and recommend specific upgrades, like installing a whole-house surge protector, which is highly advisable in our area to prevent catastrophic damage to appliances and electronics.

Following a surge, our inspection focuses on safety and damage assessment. We meticulously check your circuit breakers and GFCIs for proper function, test outlets for correct wiring and grounding, and inspect major appliances and your electrical panel for signs of overheating or damage. This process helps us determine which components were compromised and need replacement to restore safe, reliable power and prevent future incidents.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for general maintenance, or immediately if you suspect surge damage. Given Lubbock's weather patterns, if your home lacks modern surge protection, an inspection is wise to establish a baseline. It's also highly recommended before purchasing a home or installing major new appliances. Proactive inspections are the most effective way we can help you avoid the disruptive and expensive appliance damage common in our community.
