Absolutely. A common culprit is a faulty generator transfer switch, which is a safety device that isolates your home from the grid. Our inspection specifically checks the transfer switch for proper installation, wear, and functionality to ensure it will safely and automatically switch your home to generator power when needed.

Yes, an overheated outlet is a serious fire hazard that we frequently address. It often indicates loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing outlet. Our electrical inspection will pinpoint the exact cause, whether it's at that specific outlet or elsewhere in the circuit, so we can make the necessary repairs to eliminate the risk.

We recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, and always before purchasing a home, after a major renovation, or if you're adding high-demand appliances. Given our local weather, an inspection is also wise before storm season if you rely on a backup generator, to ensure the entire system, including the transfer switch, is ready.
