ProLectric gives homeowners a piece of advice that cuts against the quick fix. A breaker that trips over and over should not be handled by dropping in a larger one. Someone qualified should first find out why it is tripping.
The company lists the usual suspects: an overloaded circuit, a faulty breaker, a short, a problem in the panel itself. Which one it is decides what gets done. ProLectric puts the same idea more broadly when it describes its repair work. The goal is the root cause, not the symptom.
ProLectric has been doing electrical work in Savannah since 1996. Mike Early is president of ProLectric Electrical Contractors, Inc., which calls itself family owned and operated. The office is at 6606 Abercorn Street, Suite 120, the same address the company listed in 2007.
Most problems, the company says, can be diagnosed on the first visit. The technician explains what is wrong and lays out the repair options before starting work. Its electricians also take ongoing training on National Electrical Code requirements.
One customer who had a serviceman out in 2018 wrote about the explaining as much as the repair. The man traced the trouble quickly, then walked through how a fuse is matched to its receptacle and how a mismatch stresses the equipment until it fails. In its reply, the company said it trains its technicians to show customers how to operate electrical devices properly.
The same logic carries over to bigger jobs. Before a kitchen remodel, an EV charger, a new HVAC system or a hot tub, ProLectric suggests having someone check whether the existing service can carry the added load. Guessing at whether an upgrade is needed is the thing it warns against.
The range of work is wide. In 2007 the company described lighting, wiring and data cabling for residential, commercial and industrial customers, and said it was licensed, insured and bonded. Today the list includes rewiring historic Savannah homes, tenant build-outs, and work for restaurants, warehouses, medical offices and manufacturers. The service area runs from Savannah out to Pooler, Richmond Hill, Tybee Island, Hinesville and Statesboro, and across the state line to Bluffton, Beaufort and Hilton Head Island.
The office keeps weekday hours, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with emergency service on evenings and weekends. For the situations that cannot wait, the company spells out what to do before anyone arrives. If a breaker won’t reset or the panel smells of burning, turn off the power to the affected area, when that is safe to do, and call.
