Questions and Answers

Can an electrical inspection catch problems with underground cables before they fail?

Absolutely. While direct inspection of buried lines requires specialized equipment, a thorough whole-home electrical inspection by Birkenshaw Electric can reveal telltale signs of underground cable issues, such as voltage fluctuations, frequent circuit trips, or unexplained power losses in specific areas. We'll help you identify the problem's source and recommend the safest repair strategy.

My generator isn't switching on during a power outage. Could my transfer switch be faulty?

Yes, a malfunctioning transfer switch is a common reason generators fail to activate. This critical component can develop faults due to wear, corrosion, or internal damage. Birkenshaw Electric's inspection service will test your transfer switch's operation and electrical connections to diagnose the issue, ensuring your Somers home has reliable backup power when you need it most.

Why are underground cable faults a frequent issue for Somers homeowners?

Somers's climate and soil conditions can stress underground cables over time. Freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and accidental damage from landscaping can degrade insulation and connections. Our electrical inspections assess the health of your home's entire system, helping to pinpoint symptoms that may indicate failing underground cables, so you can address them proactively and avoid a sudden loss of power.
