Appalachian Foothills Contracting | Local Electricians in Lexington, KY

Absolutely. A thorough electrical inspection by Appalachian Foothills Contracting includes testing the functionality and safety of your generator's automatic transfer switch (ATS). We check for proper wiring, signs of corrosion, and ensure it will seamlessly switch to backup power during an outage. This proactive service is crucial in Lexington, where storms can knock out power, and a faulty switch can leave you without your intended backup.

Common signs in Lexington homes include intermittent power loss to parts of your house, frequently tripped breakers, or lights that flicker or dim unexpectedly. These issues often point to damaged underground cables, which can be caused by soil shifting, corrosion, or rodent activity. Our electrical inspection uses specialized tools and methods to diagnose these hidden problems, pinpoint the fault location, and provide a clear plan for a safe, permanent repair.

In our region, where severe weather can lead to extended power outages, ensuring your generator system is correctly integrated is vital for safety. An inspection verifies that your home's electrical panel can handle the backup load and that the installation meets all National Electric Code (NEC) and local Lexington regulations. It also identifies any underlying issues, like weak connections or outdated wiring, that could cause the generator to malfunction or create a fire hazard when under load.
