Electrical Contractor Van Buren AR | Call Total BCY Electric

A thorough inspection by Total BCY Electric checks for vulnerabilities like loose connections, outdated wiring, and, crucially, the condition of your grounding system. Proper grounding is essential during storms to safely divert lightning strikes and power surges away from your home's circuitry, which can prevent damage to appliances and reduce the risk of electrical fires triggered by outages.

In our area, we often find grounding rods that are corroded, improperly installed, or disconnected. During an inspection, we verify the rod is the correct type and depth for our soil, check for tight, corrosion-free connections to your main panel, and ensure the overall grounding system meets current safety codes. This is vital for protecting your home during the frequent lightning and power surges we experience.

Absolutely. Frequent outages during local storms often point to issues an inspection can uncover, such as faulty service entrance connections, damaged weatherheads, or an inadequate grounding electrode system. We'll trace the problem to its source—whether it's on your property or requires coordination with the utility—and provide a clear solution to make your power more resilient.
