Common Questions
What does a comprehensive electrical inspection from American Electric Motors include for my Memphis home?
Our residential electrical inspection is a detailed safety and performance evaluation. Our licensed electricians will thoroughly examine your home's wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding systems. We pay special attention to local concerns, such as checking for signs of moisture intrusion in outdoor and garage outlets—a common issue in our climate—and ensuring your generator transfer switch is properly installed and functional for reliable backup power. The inspection provides a clear report on any code violations, safety hazards, or needed upgrades to protect your home.
I have an old industrial motor that failed. Can you repair it, or do I need to replace it?
In many cases, a professional repair is a cost-effective and reliable solution. Our facility is equipped to fully disassemble, diagnose, and rebuild motors up to 5000 HP. We perform advanced diagnostics like vibration analysis to pinpoint the root cause, and our in-house machine shop allows us to fabricate custom parts if needed. Following EASA standards, we can rewind coils, replace bearings, and balance the rotor to restore your motor to like-new performance, often extending its life for years and saving you the significant cost of a full replacement.
My outdoor outlet stopped working after a heavy rain. Is this a serious issue, and can you fix it?
Yes, this is a safety issue that needs prompt attention. Water intrusion in outlets is a frequent problem in Memphis due to our weather and can lead to short circuits, corrosion, and shock hazards. Our electricians will safely inspect the affected outlet and the associated circuit. We replace the damaged components with weatherproof, GFCI-protected outlets designed for outdoor use and ensure the wiring is intact and properly sealed. Addressing this quickly prevents further damage to your home's electrical system and eliminates a potential safety risk for your family.
