Yes, this is a common symptom of a transfer switch problem. The transfer switch is the critical device that safely isolates your home from the utility grid and connects it to your generator. Our electricians inspect the switch for mechanical failure, faulty wiring, or improper installation. We ensure it's correctly rated for your generator's output and home's load, and we perform testing to guarantee a seamless and safe transition when you need backup power most.

For Pittsburgh's historic and aging housing stock, our inspections are particularly thorough. We focus on outdated knob-and-tube wiring, insufficient or overloaded circuits, the presence of a proper grounding system, and the condition of the main service panel. We also assess the capacity of your current system to handle modern appliances and recommend upgrades to enhance safety, prevent surges, and ensure your electrical system meets current National Electrical Code standards.
