Bob Pickur Electric - Pittsburgh's Experienced Electrical Company

Absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our Pittsburgh electricians test and evaluate critical components like your generator transfer switch. We check for wear, proper operation, and any signs of impending failure, which are common issues in our area. Identifying problems early can prevent a costly emergency repair when you need backup power the most.

Overheated outlets are a frequent concern in older Pittsburgh homes and are often caused by outdated wiring, loose connections, or circuit overload. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically looks for these hazards. We'll pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a single faulty outlet or a larger systemic issue—and recommend the safest, most effective repair to protect your home.

For safety and preventative maintenance, we recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for Pittsburgh homes, especially those over 30 years old. More frequent checks are advised if you're adding major appliances, notice any issues like flickering lights or warm outlets, or before relying on a backup generator system during our local power outages.
