Question Answers
Why should I get an electrical inspection if my generator switch isn't working right?
A generator transfer switch is a critical safety component. If it's malfunctioning, it can pose a serious risk of back-feeding power to utility lines or failing to power your home during an outage. Our comprehensive electrical inspection in Malden will diagnose the exact issue with your transfer switch and the connected circuits, ensuring the repair is done safely and your home is protected when you need backup power most.
Can an electrical inspection from Avco Electric help prevent power surge damage?
Absolutely. Our detailed inspections include checking your home's grounding and bonding systems, which are your first line of defense against surges. We also evaluate your electrical panel and wiring for any vulnerabilities that could allow surges from the grid or large appliances to damage your electronics. If we find risks, we can recommend and install whole-house surge protection to give your Malden home a robust shield against costly appliance damage.
What specific issues do you look for during a home electrical inspection in Malden?
Our inspection is tailored to common local concerns. We thoroughly examine your electrical panel for signs of overheating or faulty breakers, check all wiring connections (including those for generators), test GFCI and AFCI outlets for safety, and assess the overall system load. We pay special attention to components related to backup power and surge pathways, providing you with a clear report on any immediate hazards or recommended upgrades to prevent problems like transfer switch failure or surge-related damage.
