Q&A

Can an electrical inspection in Milwaukee identify problems with my generator's transfer switch?

Yes, absolutely. A key part of our Milwaukee electrical inspection service is testing generator transfer switches, a common point of failure here. We check for proper operation, secure connections, and compliance with local codes to ensure your backup power activates safely and reliably during an outage.

How does improper grounding show up during a home electrical inspection?

During an inspection, our electricians test your home's grounding system—a frequent issue in older Milwaukee homes. We look for signs like two-prong outlets, voltage fluctuations, or tingling sensations from appliances. We'll identify any deficiencies and provide a clear plan to establish a safe, code-compliant ground, protecting your home from surges and shocks.

Why is an electrical inspection important before installing a generator in Milwaukee?

Proper generator installation is crucial for safety. Our inspection ensures your home's existing electrical panel and wiring can handle the added load and that the transfer switch is correctly integrated. This prevents back-feeding power to the grid (a danger to utility workers) and ensures your generator operates safely during our severe Wisconsin storms.
