Carnes Electric: Experienced Electricians Serving Fenton 48430

Our comprehensive electrical inspection for Fenton homes includes checking your main service panel, testing outlets and circuits, inspecting wiring for wear or outdated materials (like knob-and-tube), and evaluating grounding systems. This is especially crucial for aging homes in our area, as outdated wiring can be a fire hazard and may not handle modern electrical loads. The inspection gives you a complete safety report and a prioritized plan for any necessary updates.

Absolutely. A common issue we see locally is with the automatic transfer switch (ATS), which is the critical link between your home's wiring and the generator. Our electrical inspection specifically tests the ATS, its connections, and the associated circuitry to diagnose why it's failing to engage. We can identify if the problem is with the switch itself, the wiring, or the signal from your utility, and provide a reliable fix so your backup power works when you need it most.

Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from outlets, outlets that are warm to the touch, or a reliance on extension cords because you don't have enough outlets. If your home is over 30-40 years old, it's wise to have a professional inspection. Our electricians are familiar with the wiring common in Fenton's housing stock and can assess its condition and safety, recommending updates to prevent hazards and meet current electrical code.
