Q&A
How can an electrical inspection from Wilson Electric protect my Savannah home from lightning surge damage?
Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed evaluation of your home's surge protection system. We check your main panel, individual circuits, and critical appliances for proper protection devices. Given our area's frequent storms, we can identify if your current setup is insufficient and recommend upgrades, like whole-house surge protectors, to shield your electronics and wiring from the damaging power surges common after nearby lightning strikes.
Why are short circuits in the attic a common problem in Savannah, and how do you find them during an inspection?
Savannah's heat and humidity can cause attic wiring insulation to deteriorate faster, while rodents seeking shelter sometimes chew on wires, both leading to short circuits. During our inspection, we meticulously examine accessible attic wiring for signs of damage, overheating, or improper connections. Using thermal imaging, we can spot hot spots you can't see, allowing us to repair issues before they cause a fire or a complete system failure.
What should I do if I suspect lightning or an attic short circuit has damaged my home's electrical system?
First, ensure your safety by avoiding any sparking outlets or switches and consider turning off power at the main breaker if safe to do so. Then, contact Wilson Electric immediately. Our emergency team is experienced in diagnosing and repairing surge-related damage and fault tracing for attic shorts. We'll safely assess the situation, isolate the problem, and get your power restored securely, preventing further damage to your home.
