FAQs

How can a standard electrical inspection in Hickory help prevent lightning surge damage?

Our comprehensive electrical inspections in the Hickory area specifically check for vulnerabilities that make your system susceptible to surges. We examine grounding systems, wiring integrity, and existing protection devices. Based on our findings, we can recommend and install whole-house surge protectors to safeguard your expensive appliances and electronics from the powerful voltage spikes common during our local thunderstorms.

My generator in Hickory isn't switching on during an outage. Could this be a transfer switch issue?

Absolutely. Generator transfer switch failure is a frequent issue we address for Hickory homeowners. During an electrical inspection, we meticulously test the automatic transfer switch (ATS) to ensure it properly senses a power loss and signals the generator to start. We check for faulty connections, worn components, and proper installation, providing the repair or replacement needed for reliable backup power during storms and outages.

What should I look for after a storm to know if I have electrical surge damage?

After a lightning storm in our area, be alert for signs like clocks flashing, appliances not turning on, tripped breakers that won't reset, or a burning smell from outlets. These can indicate surge damage. Don't ignore them. Call Wise Electric Control for a safety-focused inspection. We can diagnose the extent of the damage, make necessary repairs to prevent fire hazards, and upgrade your protection to guard against future surges.
