Question Answers

How can a routine electrical inspection prepare my New Bedford home for storm season?

A professional inspection by Hawes Electric identifies potential weak points in your system before a storm hits. We check for outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding—common issues that can lead to failures during power surges from coastal storms. This proactive service helps prevent electrical fires and ensures your home is as safe and resilient as possible.

My generator didn't kick on during the last outage. Could it be the transfer switch?

Absolutely. Generator transfer switches are a frequent point of failure, especially after sitting unused. Our electricians can diagnose if the issue is with the switch itself, improper installation, or a wiring fault. We service and repair all major brands to ensure your backup power activates reliably when you need it most during a New Bedford power outage.

What does an electrical inspection cover, and is it necessary for an older home in New Bedford?

Our comprehensive inspection evaluates your entire electrical system: panel, wiring, outlets, grounding, and safety devices. For New Bedford's many historic homes, this is crucial. Aging wiring may not handle modern appliance loads or meet current safety codes, increasing risk during storms. The inspection provides a clear report on your system's health and any recommended upgrades for safety and reliability.
