Question Answers

Why would my generator's transfer switch fail during a Florence storm, and how can an electrical inspection help?

Transfer switches can fail due to corrosion, worn components, or improper initial installation—common issues in our humid climate. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Coats Electric Co will test the switch's operation, check all connections for tightness and corrosion, and ensure it's properly bonded and grounded to local code. This proactive check identifies problems before the next power outage, so your backup power works when you need it most.

What are the signs of loose electrical connections in my Florence home, and are they dangerous?

Common signs include flickering lights, intermittent power in outlets, warm or discolored switch plates, and a burning smell from receptacles. Yes, these are dangerous. Loose connections create arcing and excessive heat, which is a leading cause of electrical fires. Our electricians perform detailed inspections to locate and secure every connection in your panel and throughout your home, eliminating this hidden hazard and restoring safe, reliable power.

Can you inspect my home's electrical system to prevent generator or connection issues before they happen?

Absolutely. A whole-house electrical inspection is the best way to ensure safety and reliability. We'll thoroughly examine your service panel, wiring, grounding, and critical systems like your generator transfer switch. For Florence homeowners, this proactive service catches loose terminals, outdated components, and code violations that could lead to failure. It gives you peace of mind, especially before storm season, and helps avoid unexpected, costly repairs.
