The basics
Grounding and bonding explained
These two systems work together to keep your home safe. Understanding the difference helps you understand why they matter.
Grounding
Grounding connects your electrical system to the earth through a ground rod or grounding electrode system (GES). The grounding electrode conductor (GEC) carries fault current safely into the ground, protecting you from shock and helping your system clear faults quickly.
Bonding
Bonding connects all metal parts of your electrical system and metal piping to the same electrical potential using bonding jumpers and the main bonding jumper at your service panel. This prevents dangerous voltage differences between surfaces you touch, like water pipes or metal boxes.

Common questions
Find answers to common questions about electrical repairs and service calls.
Grounding connects your electrical system to the earth through a ground rod or other electrode. This provides a safe path for fault current to dissipate and protects you from shock.
Bonding connects the metal parts of your electrical system and metal piping to ensure they're all at the same electrical potential. This prevents dangerous voltage differences between surfaces you might touch.
Bonding jumpers connect metal water pipes and gas pipes to your service panel. Missing or loose jumpers are a code violation and a safety concern that we can correct quickly.
Often yes. We can upgrade your grounding electrode system, add bonding jumpers, and correct connections at the panel without disturbing existing wiring throughout your home.
Absolutely. A panel upgrade is the perfect time to verify and upgrade your grounding and bonding to current code. We inspect everything and make corrections as needed.
