Questions and Answers
My Roanoke home's wiring is old. What should I look for, and can you help?
Yes, we can definitely help. Common signs of aging wiring in older Roanoke homes include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, and a reliance on extension cords. Our electrical inspection service is the first step. We'll thoroughly assess your panel, circuits, and outlets to identify safety hazards or insufficient capacity. From there, we can perform any necessary repairs or upgrades, ensuring your electrical system is safe, up to modern code, and can handle today's appliances.
I need a generator transfer switch installed. What does that involve?
Installing a transfer switch is a critical safety procedure that connects your portable generator to your home's electrical panel without back-feeding power into the grid, which is dangerous for utility workers. Our process involves mounting the switch near your main panel, running dedicated wiring, and connecting it to selected circuits (like your fridge, furnace, and lights). We ensure the installation meets all local Roanoke codes, so you can have peace of mind and reliable backup power when you need it most.
After you upgrade my wiring or install a switch, can you repair the drywall?
Absolutely. One of the advantages of choosing Crenshaw is our combined electrical and handyman expertise. After completing electrical work that requires opening walls—like running new wiring for an upgrade or installing a transfer switch—our team will professionally patch, tape, mud, and sand the drywall. We can even texture and paint to match your existing walls, leaving your home looking finished and clean. It's a seamless solution from one trusted local team.
