Questions and Answers
How can an electrical inspection by Gunkelman Electric help prevent attic wiring short circuits in my Alta home?
Our comprehensive electrical inspections thoroughly examine your home's wiring, including hard-to-reach areas like the attic. We look for signs of wear, overheating, improper connections, and rodent damage—common causes of short circuits in Alta homes. Identifying and correcting these issues proactively prevents potential fires and costly damage, ensuring your family's safety.
My generator in Alta isn't kicking on during an outage. Could it be a transfer switch issue you can inspect?
Absolutely. A faulty transfer switch is a common reason a standby generator fails to activate. Our electricians will inspect your transfer switch for wear, corrosion, or incorrect wiring. We ensure it properly signals your generator to start and safely isolates your home from the utility grid, restoring your backup power reliability.
What are the signs that my Alta home needs an electrical inspection soon?
Warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, buzzing from outlets or switches, burning smells (especially from the attic), and outlets that are warm to the touch. If you have an older home or have added major appliances, an inspection is also wise. We recommend a professional inspection every few years to catch issues early.
