Electrical Company Mount Vernon WA | Call Freight Train Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed evaluation of your generator's transfer switch. We check for wear, corrosion from moisture, proper wiring connections, and compliance with current safety codes. Catching minor issues early during an inspection prevents the switch from failing when you need it most during a Skagit County power outage, ensuring a seamless transition to backup power.

After significant rain in the Mount Vernon area, be alert for signs like flickering lights, tripped breakers that won't reset, buzzing sounds from outlets or panels, or a musty smell near electrical fixtures. These can indicate water intrusion. Don't ignore these warnings—contact us for an inspection. We'll safely locate the moisture source, assess any damage, and recommend repairs to prevent short circuits or fire hazards.

Older homes in Skagit Valley often have electrical systems not originally designed for today's power demands or our wet climate. A pre-storm season inspection from Freight Train Electric assesses the entire system's integrity. We specifically look for outdated wiring, inadequate grounding, and vulnerable entry points for rain around the meter and service panel. This proactive check-up fortifies your home against rain-related damage and ensures critical safety devices, like GFCIs, are functioning properly.
