Electrical Company Barboursville WV | Call Deco

Our thorough electrical inspection identifies vulnerabilities in your system, such as old wiring, faulty connections, or inadequate grounding, that could fail during a storm. By addressing these issues proactively, we help prevent potential fire hazards, damage to appliances, and prolonged outages, ensuring your home is as resilient as possible when severe weather hits our area.

A transfer switch is a critical device that safely connects a backup generator to your home's electrical panel. It prevents dangerous 'backfeed' into utility lines, protecting utility workers and your home. For Barboursville residents facing frequent storm-related outages, a professionally installed transfer switch by Deco ensures you can power essential circuits safely and seamlessly the moment the main power goes out.

First, never enter a flooded basement or touch electrical equipment if there is standing water. Once it's safe, visually check for downed lines, damaged meter boxes, or signs of scorching near your panel. However, we strongly recommend a post-storm inspection by Deco. We can check for hidden water damage, compromised wiring, and ensure your system is safe to re-energize, preventing future hazards.
