Defranco Electric Co - Foster's Professional Electrical Repair

Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Defranco Electric Co includes testing critical safety components like automatic transfer switches (ATS). We'll verify that the switch properly isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage and seamlessly transfers power to your generator, a common point of failure in our area. This prevents back-feeding, which is dangerous for utility workers and can damage your home's electrical system.

Signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, tingling sensations from appliances, flickering lights, or damaged electronics. In Foster's soil conditions, older grounding rods can corrode or become ineffective. An improper ground is a serious safety risk as it provides no safe path for stray electrical current, increasing the chance of shock or electrical fire. Our inspections specifically test your grounding system to ensure it meets code and protects your household.

A proper ground is the foundation for all electrical safety, including your generator system. If your home's grounding is faulty, a power surge from your generator—or a lightning strike during a storm—has no safe path to dissipate. This can damage the generator itself, your home's wiring, and connected appliances. Our inspection ensures your entire electrical ecosystem, including the generator circuit, is anchored to a robust and code-compliant grounding system for complete protection.
