About Gentile Electric in Wood-Ridge, NJ

Older homes and frequent power fluctuations in our area can cause transfer switches to wear out or malfunction. Our detailed electrical inspection tests the switch's operation, checks for corrosion or loose connections, and ensures it safely isolates your home from the grid when the generator is on, preventing backfeed and protecting utility workers.

We specifically examine your grounding electrode system, including rods and clamps, for corrosion or poor connections common in our soil conditions. We verify that all outlets are properly grounded and that your electrical panel is bonded correctly. This protects your appliances and, most importantly, prevents dangerous electrical shocks in your Wood-Ridge home.

We recommend a comprehensive inspection. While the transfer switch is often the culprit, the problem could stem from the generator's connection, the home's main panel, or an underlying grounding issue. A full inspection by our local experts ensures we find the root cause, providing a complete and lasting fix for your Wood-Ridge home's backup power system.
