Q&A

How can an electrical inspection from Franklin Electric help prevent a breaker panel overload in my Billings home?

Our comprehensive electrical inspection assesses your entire system's load capacity, wiring condition, and breaker function. For many Billings homes, especially older ones, we find circuits are improperly balanced or outdated panels can't handle modern appliance demands. We identify these risks before they cause tripping breakers or, worse, a fire hazard, and provide clear recommendations to upgrade or rebalance your panel for safety and reliability.

What should I look for if I suspect my generator transfer switch is having issues?

Common signs in our area include the generator failing to start during a power outage, flickering lights when it's running, or hearing a clicking sound from the switch without power transfer. These issues often stem from worn components, faulty sensors, or improper installation. Rather than troubleshooting it yourself, contact Franklin Electric. Our inspection will safely diagnose the transfer switch—a critical safety device—and ensure it operates correctly to keep your Billings home powered during storms and outages.

Why is an electrical inspection important before installing a backup generator for my Montana home?

A proper inspection is crucial for two main reasons. First, we need to verify your home's existing electrical panel and wiring can safely handle the added load from the generator. Second, we ensure the generator transfer switch—which isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage—is compatible and installed correctly. This prevents back-feeding, which is dangerous for utility workers, and ensures your system in Billings is both safe and effective when you need it most.
