Yes, generator transfer switch problems are a frequent issue we see in Brockton. A malfunctioning switch can prevent your generator from powering your home. During an electrical inspection, we thoroughly test the transfer switch, its connections, and control circuitry to identify the root cause—whether it's corrosion, a faulty component, or a wiring problem—and provide a reliable fix to ensure your backup power works when you need it most.

Our detailed electrical inspection evaluates your entire system's safety and function, including the service entry where your meter is located. We specifically check for signs of corrosion on the meter base and connections, a common problem in our area due to moisture and salt air. Identifying this early is crucial to prevent power interruptions, safety hazards, and potential damage to your home's electrical panel.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given our local issues with corrosion and aging infrastructure, regular inspections are a proactive way to catch problems like deteriorating meter connections or aging transfer switches before they lead to emergencies, keeping your family safe and avoiding costly emergency repairs.
