Electrical Contractor Leicester MA | Call Burtt Electrical

This is a common issue we see locally, often related to the automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS is the critical component that senses a power loss and signals your generator to start. Problems can range from a faulty sensor and wiring issues to general wear from infrequent testing. Our electricians can perform a full diagnostic on your generator system, including the transfer switch, to identify and repair the problem, ensuring your home is protected during the next storm.

Outdoor outlet failure is frequently due to corrosion from moisture, snow, and temperature swings common in our area. Standard outlets aren't designed to withstand these elements long-term. We recommend and install GFCI outlets with weatherproof, in-use covers that seal out moisture. Our service includes inspecting the existing wiring for damage caused by corrosion, making any necessary repairs, and installing a durable, code-compliant solution to keep your outdoor power safe and reliable year-round.

Professional generator installation is key for safety and reliability. Our process starts with a site assessment to determine the proper size and location. The core of the installation involves setting up a dedicated circuit and connecting it to your home's electrical panel via an automatic transfer switch (ATS). This switch is what allows for seamless, automatic power during an outage. Our licensed electricians handle all permits, wiring, and final testing to ensure your new generator system operates safely and is ready when you need it most.
