Spring in West Michigan means longer days, blooming trees, and, like clockwork, some pretty unpredictable weather. Thunderstorms, high winds, and heavy rains can roll through in an instant, leaving behind more than just puddles.

Common Electrical Issues After a Spring Storm

Before

Spring storms can affect your electrical system in several ways:

Power Surges: Lightning strikes or sudden grid fluctuations can damage appliances and sensitive electronics.
Downed or Damaged Wiring: Wind and falling branches can tear service lines from your home or expose wiring.
Water Damage: Leaks or flooding in basements and crawl spaces can lead to short circuits and increased risk of electrical fires.
Tripped Breakers or Blown Fuses: After a power outage or surge, your breaker panel may need inspection to ensure it's functioning properly.

After

If you notice flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or an unexplained loss of power in certain areas of your home after a storm, it’s time to call in a professional.
