When Thunder Rolls, Don’t Let Your Power Go Out With It

Every summer and fall, residents in Adairsville, GA, brace for strong storms—from powerful thunderstorms to tropical downpours. While these systems can bring much-needed rain, they also deliver lightning strikes, power outages, and the occasional tree through a power line.

When it comes to protecting your home and family, it’s not just about boarding up windows or stocking flashlights. Electrical safety is one of the most important and most overlooked parts of storm prep. At EaZy Electrical & Plumbing, we’ve seen it all—and we’re here to help you stay safe, powered, and stress-free this storm season.

Why Electrical Safety Matters More During Storm Season

Storms can cause:

Neglecting your electrical system during storm season can lead to dangerous (and expensive) consequences. With just a few proactive steps, you can keep your home secure and minimize the risk of storm-related damage.

Step 1: Install Whole-Home Surge Protection 

A lightning strike doesn’t have to hit your house directly to fry your electronics. It can travel through power lines and into your home in a flash.

Benefits of whole-home surge protectors:

While power strip surge protectors help with smaller items, only a panel-mounted surge protector can defend your entire home. EaZy Electrical installs code-compliant, high-quality surge protectors designed for Georgia’s storm-prone seasons.

Step 2: Secure Backup Power with a Whole-House Generator

In Adairsville, a single storm can knock out power for hours or longer. The solution? A backup generator that automatically kicks in when the grid goes down.

Why consider a whole-house generator:

Generators can run on natural gas or propane, and our licensed electricians at EaZy will size and install the right unit for your needs. No noise, no stress—just power when you need it most.

Step 3: Check Your Electrical Panel and Breakers

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. But when storms hit, older or undersized panels can fail under pressure.

Signs your panel may need inspection or upgrade:

Outdated panels are not only inefficient—they’re dangerous during a storm. Have EaZy Electrical inspect your panel and breakers to ensure they can handle sudden voltage changes and storm stress.

Step 4: Unplug and Protect Sensitive Devices During a Storm

Even with surge protection, direct hits or sudden spikes can still harm delicate electronics.

What to unplug before a storm:

It only takes a few seconds, but it could save you hundreds—or thousands—in replacement costs. Once the storm passes, plug everything back in safely.

Step 5: Grounding and Bonding: The Hidden MVPs of Electrical Safety

Proper grounding and bonding direct excess electricity safely into the earth, protecting both people and devices from shock or fire. If your home is older or has undergone renovations, your grounding system might not meet current code.

Why grounding is essential:

Not sure if your home is properly grounded? EaZy Electrical offers full-system inspections and code updates for Adairsville homes.

Step 6: Prepare for Power Outages the Smart Way

Electrical safety isn’t just about what happens during a storm—it’s about what you do before and after as well.

Smart pre-outage tips:

EaZy Electrical can also install smart panels and load management systems that help you prioritize circuits during generator use.
