Common Questions

How can an electrical inspection from Bernie's help protect my Fargo home from power surges?

Our detailed electrical inspection includes checking your home's entire system, focusing on the main service panel, grounding, and surge protection. For Fargo homes, we often find outdated panels or missing whole-house surge protectors, leaving appliances vulnerable to damage from grid fluctuations or storms. We identify these weak points and recommend specific upgrades to safeguard your electronics and major appliances.

I have a generator; why do I need an inspection for the transfer switch?

A generator is only helpful if it connects safely. In Fargo, where winter storms can cause outages, a faulty transfer switch is a common issue that can prevent your generator from powering your home or, worse, backfeed electricity into the grid, creating a severe hazard for utility workers. Our inspection tests the switch's operation and wiring to ensure a safe, automatic, and reliable connection when you need it most.

What specific things do you look for during a Fargo home electrical inspection?

Beyond standard code checks, we focus on local concerns. We look for signs of past surge damage on outlets and panels, verify the capacity and condition of wiring for space heaters common in our climate, inspect outdoor and garage outlets for moisture, and thoroughly test all safety devices like GFCIs and AFCIs. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of your home's electrical health and resilience specific to our region.
