C.J. Wats Electric - Lavallette's Best Electrical Contractor

This is a very common issue in our coastal area. Salt air and humidity can cause GFCI outlets to fail or become overly sensitive. We'll perform a thorough electrical inspection to test your GFCIs and the circuits they protect. Our repair typically involves replacing the faulty GFCI outlet with a new, weather-resistant model specifically rated for our environment, ensuring it trips only when there's a real ground fault to keep your family safe.

The most frequent culprit is a problem with the automatic transfer switch (ATS). This critical component can fail due to age, corrosion from the salt air, or a faulty connection. As specialists in generator installation and repair, we will test your entire generator system, focusing on the transfer switch. We can repair or replace the ATS to ensure it seamlessly detects a power loss and safely switches your home to generator power, giving you peace of mind during storms.

For our barrier island location, proper installation is key. We focus on selecting a generator with adequate capacity for your home and installing it on a compliant, elevated pad to protect against flooding. Most importantly, we ensure the automatic transfer switch is installed correctly in a protected location and integrated safely with your home's main electrical panel. This guarantees reliable automatic operation during the outages we occasionally experience, keeping your essentials running.
