Roanoke homeowners know that storms, high winds, and winter weather can strike without warning. Preparing your home’s electrical system before severe weather hits is critical for protecting your family and property. Here’s how:

1. Schedule a Professional Inspection
Have a licensed electrician check your wiring, service panel, and connections. Stetson and Sons Electrical offers comprehensive inspections to identify vulnerabilities.

2. Install Whole-House Surge Protection
Lightning strikes and power surges can fry appliances and electronics. Whole-house surge protectors safeguard your investment and keep your home safe.

3. Secure Your Outdoor Electrical Fixtures
Storm winds can loosen or damage exterior outlets, lighting, and wiring. Ensure all outdoor fixtures are tightly secured and weatherproofed.

4. Consider a Backup Generator
A professionally installed standby generator keeps your essential systems running during power outages. We can help you select and install the right size for your home.

5. Know How to Shut Off Power Safely
