The inspection gives you a clear, prioritized report so you can address any safety concerns or potential failures before they become major problems.

Yes, intermittent power loss is a classic symptom of a failing underground service cable in Brentwood. Soil shifts, corrosion, and root intrusion can damage the insulation. To diagnose it, our Cogburn Electric technicians perform specialized testing at your meter base and main panel. We can often pinpoint the issue without extensive digging. If a damaged cable is confirmed, we'll provide a clear plan for repair or replacement, working carefully to minimize disruption to your landscaping. Addressing this promptly is key to preventing a complete outage.

Installing a transfer switch for a home generator is more than just a connection—it's integrating a critical backup system with your home's main electrical panel. A professional inspection by Cogburn Electric ensures your existing panel can safely handle the additional load and that the transfer switch is properly sized and wired to prevent back-feeding, which is dangerous to utility workers. For Brentwood homeowners, this is especially important as we often see older panels that may need upgrading. Our inspection guarantees a safe, code-compliant installation that will reliably power your essential circuits during a storm-related outage.
