Staatsburg Electrician | Generator & Electrical Inspection | DS Electric

Regular inspections are crucial because transfer switches, which connect your generator to your home's electrical panel, can degrade or malfunction over time, especially after heavy use during our frequent storms. An inspection by DS Electric ensures the switch operates safely, prevents back-feeding power to the grid (which is dangerous for utility workers), and confirms your generator will kick in automatically when you need it most.

Before storm season, we recommend a professional inspection that includes testing the transfer switch operation, checking all electrical connections for corrosion, ensuring the generator starts under load, and verifying proper ventilation. As your local electricians, we can perform this comprehensive check to identify and fix any issues proactively, so you're not left in the dark during a power outage.

Absolutely. A failure to activate is often related to the transfer switch or its controls. We'll diagnose the issue—whether it's a faulty switch, a wiring problem, or a control signal error—and make the necessary repairs. Getting your system reliably operational is our priority, ensuring you have dependable backup power for the next storm.
