Buckeye Electrical Solutions - Lorain's Trusted Electrical Repair

Our thorough electrical inspections specifically check for early signs of corrosion on outdoor outlets, a common issue in Lorain due to humidity and lake-effect weather. We assess the outlet's seal, wiring integrity, and GFCI protection. Catching it early allows us to replace the outlet with a weather-resistant model and ensure proper grounding, preventing safety hazards and more extensive future damage.

Yes, generator transfer switch issues are a frequent call we get from Lorain homeowners. The switch is the critical link between your generator and home's electrical panel. Problems can range from a faulty switch mechanism to loose wiring connections or wear from infrequent use. Our electricians specialize in diagnosing, repairing, or installing new transfer switches to ensure your backup power works reliably when you need it most.

We always assess the extent of the corrosion. For minor issues, a repair involving cleaning connections and applying anti-corrosion dielectric grease might suffice. However, with significant corrosion common in our area, replacement with a new, UL-listed wet-location fixture is often the safer, more cost-effective long-term solution. We'll provide a clear recommendation and use fixtures built to withstand Lorain's conditions.
