Mound City Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Repair | Caton Electric

Breaker trips in older Mound City homes often signal an overloaded panel or faulty wiring. Our comprehensive electrical inspection thoroughly assesses your panel's capacity, circuit loads, and wiring integrity. We identify the root cause—whether it's outdated equipment or increased modern electrical demand—and provide a clear plan to upgrade your system for safety and reliability, preventing future nuisance trips.

A properly installed transfer switch is critical for safety. It prevents 'backfeeding,' where generator power could surge back into utility lines, endangering repair crews and neighbors. Our electricians ensure your transfer switch is correctly wired and meets all local codes, guaranteeing your standby generator powers only your home safely during an outage, protecting both your family and the community.

Our inspection focuses on Mound City's common concerns. We check your breaker panel for proper amperage and signs of overload, test all GFCI/AFCI outlets for safety, verify grounding and bonding, and inspect wiring for wear or damage. We also assess any existing generator connections to ensure they are safe and functional. This proactive approach helps prevent emergencies before they start.
