Q&A
How can an electrical inspection help with my older New Kensington home's wiring?
An electrical inspection is a proactive safety measure, especially for homes with aging wiring common in our area. Our certified electricians will thoroughly assess your system for outdated components, overloaded circuits, and potential fire hazards like faulty connections or deteriorated insulation. The inspection gives you a clear report on your home's electrical health and a prioritized plan for any necessary upgrades to ensure safety and meet modern appliance demands.
My generator won't power my house during an outage. Could it be the transfer switch?
Absolutely. Generator transfer switch issues are a frequent call we receive in New Kensington. If your generator runs but doesn't transfer power to your home, the problem often lies with the switch itself—it could be a faulty component, a wiring connection issue, or it may not be properly sized for your home's electrical load. Our electricians can diagnose the switch, perform any repairs, and ensure it's correctly installed and integrated with your home's panel for reliable automatic or manual operation when you need it most.
What are the signs that my home's aging wiring needs to be inspected or replaced?
Common warning signs in older homes include frequently tripped breakers or blown fuses, flickering or dimming lights, a burning smell from outlets or switches, discolored or warm wall plates, and outlets or switches that don't work. If you're adding major new appliances or your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, an inspection is strongly recommended. We can identify these risks and provide solutions to prevent electrical fires and ensure your system is safe and capable.
