Gerstner Electric - Saint Louis's Licensed Electrical Repair

Yes, absolutely. Our thorough electrical inspection includes checking your home's surge protection. We examine your main panel, outlets, and overall system integrity to identify vulnerabilities. For Saint Louis homes, we often recommend and can install whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel, which is the most effective defense against the sudden voltage spikes that can fry electronics and major appliances.

In most cases, yes. Generator transfer switch issues are a common call we get from local homeowners. Our electrical inspection specifically tests the transfer switch—the critical device that safely shifts your home's power source from the utility to the generator. We check for faulty wiring, worn components, improper installation, and control signal problems to diagnose why it's failing and provide a reliable, safe fix.

Older wiring systems in our historic Saint Louis neighborhoods often can't handle the demands of modern appliances and electronics, increasing the risk of surges and safety hazards. Our inspection assesses the age and condition of your wiring, panel capacity, and grounding. We identify overloaded circuits, outdated components, and safety code violations that specifically contribute to the local issues of appliance damage and generator system failures, allowing us to create a prioritized plan for upgrades.
