Electrical Contractor Andover MN | Call Braastad Electric

An electrical inspection is the best way to diagnose transfer switch issues safely. Our Andover electricians will test the switch's connections, verify it's properly integrated with your home's main panel, and check for any code violations or wear that could prevent your generator from powering your home during an outage, ensuring your backup system is ready when you need it most.

During our inspection, we meticulously check all accessible outlets, switches, and connections at your main panel and sub-panels for signs of arcing, overheating, or physical looseness—common problems in older Andover homes. Identifying and tightening these connections prevents flickering lights, potential fire hazards, and damage to your appliances, giving you peace of mind.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for general safety, or before purchasing an older home. If you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, adding a major appliance, or noticing signs like buzzing outlets, schedule an inspection immediately. Proactive checks help us catch and fix small issues, like loose wiring, before they become expensive or dangerous problems.
