Question Answers

My generator isn't kicking in during a McMinnville power outage. Could it be the transfer switch?

Yes, transfer switch issues are a frequent local problem we see. These switches can fail due to age, corrosion, or internal component wear. Carton Electric provides thorough electrical inspections specifically for backup power systems. We'll diagnose the switch, repair it if possible, or recommend a professional installation or replacement to ensure your home has reliable automatic backup power when you need it most.

I'm experiencing intermittent power loss to my outbuilding. Could it be a damaged underground cable?

Absolutely. Damaged underground cables are a common issue in our area due to soil shifting, moisture, or accidental digging. Carton Electric specializes in diagnosing these faults. Our electric repair service includes trenching and safely replacing the damaged underground line with new, durable cable, restoring consistent and safe power to your detached garage, workshop, or other structures.

Can you help install new outdoor lighting if my old wiring was damaged underground?

Definitely. We often find that outdated or compromised underground wiring is the culprit behind faulty outdoor lighting. Carton Electric's light fixture installation service is comprehensive.
