Butler Electric | Trusted Electrical Repair in Mukwonago, WI

Absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our electricians specifically check critical systems like your generator transfer switch. We test its operation, inspect for loose connections, corrosion, or wear, and verify that it will function correctly during a power outage. Identifying issues early can prevent a failure when you need your generator the most.

Loose connections can develop over time due to thermal expansion and contraction from normal electrical use, vibrations, or initial installation issues. They are a leading cause of electrical fires. Our detailed inspection involves checking outlets, switches, and panel connections for tightness and signs of overheating, allowing us to secure them before they become a hazard.

First, ensure your generator has fuel and is properly maintained. If it still won't transfer power, the issue is likely with the transfer switch itself—a common local problem. For safety, do not attempt to bypass it. Contact Butler Electric. We will inspect the switch, diagnose the fault (often a loose connection, failed component, or control wiring issue), and perform the necessary repair to restore your backup power.
