Common Questions

Why is a professional electrical inspection important for Knoxville homes with grounding issues?

In Knoxville, many homes have older wiring or DIY repairs that can lead to improper grounding—a serious safety hazard that increases the risk of shock and fire. Our detailed electrical inspection identifies the specific cause, whether it's at the main panel, an outlet, or the grounding rod itself. We then provide a clear plan to bring your system up to current National Electrical Code standards, protecting your family and your home's electrical appliances.

Can you inspect my generator transfer switch during a routine electrical check?

Absolutely. We include a thorough assessment of your generator transfer switch as a key part of our electrical inspection service. This is crucial in Knoxville, where power outages from storms are common. We test the switch's operation, check for proper wiring and connections, and ensure it safely isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator is running. This prevents back-feeding, which is dangerous for utility workers, and ensures your backup power works reliably when you need it most.

What does Bratten Electric look for during a whole-home electrical inspection?

Our inspection is a comprehensive health check for your Knoxville home's electrical system. Beyond checking for the local issues of grounding and transfer switches, we examine your main service panel for overloaded circuits, inspect wiring for damage or deterioration, test GFCI and AFCI outlets for proper function in kitchens and bathrooms, and assess the overall safety and capacity of your system. We provide a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, giving you peace of mind and a roadmap for any needed repairs or updates.
