Electrical Contractor Dahlonega GA | Call Grisham Electric Co

Our thorough electrical inspections specifically check the integrity of your generator transfer switch and its connection to your main panel. We test for proper operation, look for signs of corrosion or loose wiring common in our climate, and ensure it meets current safety codes. This proactive check can identify minor faults before they lead to a complete failure during a power outage, keeping your backup power reliable when you need it most.

Common signs include a burning smell near the panel, discolored or warm breakers, frequent tripping, or a buzzing sound. During our inspection, we use thermal imaging cameras to detect abnormal heat signatures inside the panel that aren't visible to the naked eye. We also check for overloaded circuits, proper amperage ratings, and tightness of all connections—common culprits for overheating in older Dahlonega homes.

Dahlonega's weather can be unpredictable. A professional inspection ensures your entire backup power system—from the generator itself to the transfer switch and your home's critical circuits—is installed correctly and functioning safely. We verify that the transfer switch properly isolates your home from the grid (preventing backfeed, which is dangerous for utility workers) and that your panel can handle the load. This prevents damage to your appliances and home and ensures safety during an outage.
