Collins Electric - Cheyenne's Emergency Electrical Company

Yes, absolutely. During our standard electrical inspection, our licensed electricians carefully examine the meter base and connections for the white, green, or blue powdery deposits that indicate corrosion—a common issue here due to our climate. Early detection allows us to clean or replace affected components before they cause power interruptions or become a safety hazard.

This is often related to the transfer switch. In our area, switches can fail due to infrequent use, corrosion, or simple wear. Our inspection service includes testing the automatic transfer switch (ATS) to ensure it properly signals your generator to start and transfer the electrical load. We diagnose the issue—whether it's a faulty switch, wiring problem, or control signal—and provide a reliable repair.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given our local issues with meter corrosion and the critical need for functional backup systems, more frequent checks (every 1-2 years) on these specific components can prevent unexpected problems. An inspection gives you peace of mind and helps avoid costly emergency repairs.
