Hartong Electric - Ravenna's Trusted Electrical Company

Yes, absolutely. During a comprehensive electrical inspection, our technicians specifically check the generator transfer switch, a common point of failure in our area. We test its operation, inspect for corrosion or loose connections, and ensure it safely isolates your home from the main grid during an outage, protecting both your generator and the utility workers.

Signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, dimming or flickering lights, or a noticeable drop in power to outbuildings or yard fixtures. While the damage is hidden, our inspection process involves specialized testing equipment to pinpoint the location and severity of the fault without extensive digging, allowing for a precise and minimally invasive repair.

Northeast Ohio's weather makes backup power essential. An inspection ensures your home's existing electrical panel and wiring can handle the generator's load and that the transfer switch interface is correctly installed and up to code. This proactive step prevents dangerous back-feeding, protects your appliances, and guarantees your generator works reliably when you need it most.
