Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an electrical inspection important for my generator transfer switch in Metairie?
Generator transfer switches are critical for safety during power outages, but they can fail due to wear, weather exposure, or improper installation. A professional electrical inspection by Cordes Electric checks the switch's connections, operational logic, and overall integrity to ensure it will function reliably when you need it most, preventing dangerous back-feeding or failure during a storm.
How can an inspection help with the electrical meter corrosion we see in the Metairie area?
Our humid, salty air can accelerate corrosion on your electrical meter base and connections, leading to power flickers, heat damage, or even fire hazards. During an inspection, we specifically examine the meter area for signs of corrosion, oxidation, and loose connections. Identifying this early allows us to clean, secure, or replace components before they cause a major outage or safety issue.
What does Cordes Electric check during a standard electrical inspection for a Metairie home?
Our thorough inspection goes beyond code compliance to address local concerns. We check your main service panel for safe load capacity, test GFCI and AFCI outlets, verify grounding systems, and inspect for any outdated wiring. Crucially, we also assess high-wear items like your generator transfer switch and meter connections for the corrosion and faults common in our coastal climate, providing a complete picture of your electrical system's health.
