Dillard Smith Construction - Chattanooga's Best Electrical Company

A professional electrical inspection by our team specifically checks your generator transfer switch for proper wiring, grounding, and overall function. We ensure it's correctly integrated with your home's main panel to prevent back-feeding, a serious safety hazard, and to guarantee a seamless transition to backup power during an outage. This proactive check is crucial for reliable operation when you need it most.

First, check your home's main electrical panel to see if any breakers have tripped. If breakers are on but power is still out, check with neighbors to confirm a wider outage. Avoid touching any wet electrical equipment. If power returns but you notice flickering lights, burning smells, or your generator isn't engaging properly, that's the time to call us for a professional inspection to ensure no hidden damage occurred.

Storms can cause subtle but dangerous damage to your home's electrical system, like moisture intrusion, compromised wiring, or surges that weaken components. An inspection identifies these issues before they lead to appliance failure, fire hazards, or unreliable power. For homes with generators, we verify the transfer switch and connections are still safe and operational, giving you peace of mind for the next weather event.
