During our electrical inspection service, we meticulously test the transfer switch's operation, check for corrosion or physical damage common in our coastal Connecticut climate, and verify all electrical connections. We'll diagnose whether the issue is with the switch itself, the control wiring, or another component, and provide a reliable repair to ensure your generator protects your home when you need it most.
