Questions and Answers

Why is an electrical inspection important for my Sterling home?

Homes in our area, especially older ones, are prone to loose electrical connections due to temperature fluctuations and normal wear. These loose connections can overheat, posing a serious fire risk. Our thorough inspection identifies and corrects these hidden dangers before they become emergencies, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to code.

Can you check if my generator's transfer switch is working correctly?

Absolutely. Generator transfer switch issues are a common call we get in Sterling. During our electrical inspection, we specifically test the transfer switch to ensure it safely and automatically switches power from the utility to your generator during an outage—and back again. We verify proper operation and grounding to prevent back-feeding, which can be dangerous to utility workers and your home's circuitry.

What does your electrical inspection cover for handyman services?

As your local handyman and electrician, our inspection is comprehensive. We go beyond checking outlets and breakers. We examine the entire system for the specific issues Sterling homeowners face: tightening loose connections at panels and fixtures, assessing the condition of wiring, testing GFCI/AFCI protection, and evaluating all major appliances and your generator setup. We then provide a clear report and can handle any repairs needed, big or small.
