Elite Electrical Contractors | Experienced Electrical Services in Fort Myers, FL

Yes, absolutely. Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed assessment of your breaker panel's capacity and the load on each circuit. In many Fort Myers homes, we find panels from older construction that can't handle today's increased power demands from air conditioning, appliances, and electronics. We'll identify if your panel is at risk for dangerous overloads and recommend solutions, such as a panel upgrade or adding dedicated circuits, to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and sufficient.

Generator transfer switch problems are common here due to our humid, salty air and the infrequent but heavy use during power outages. Issues often stem from corrosion on contacts, worn internal components, or improper initial installation. During an electrical inspection, we test the transfer switch's operation, check for corrosion, and verify it's correctly wired and rated for your generator's output. Proper maintenance and a professional installation are key to ensuring your backup power activates seamlessly when you need it most.

Key warning signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights when an appliance turns on, a burning smell from outlets, or outlets that are warm to the touch. These are often symptoms of an overloaded panel or faulty wiring. Given our local issues with panel overloads, if your home is over 20 years old or you've added major appliances, a professional inspection is a smart preventative step. We'll pinpoint the root cause and provide a clear plan to resolve it, enhancing your home's safety and electrical reliability.
