Common Questions

Can an electrical inspection in Albany find issues with my generator's transfer switch?

Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Hession Electric includes checking critical components like your automatic transfer switch (ATS). We often find issues in Albany homes where switches fail to engage due to wear, corrosion, or faulty wiring from frequent use during storms. Our inspection can identify these problems early, preventing a situation where your generator doesn't kick on when you need it most.

How does a loose electrical connection cause problems, and will an inspection catch it?

Loose connections in outlets, switches, or panels create resistance, which generates dangerous heat and can lead to flickering lights, damaged appliances, or even electrical fires. This is a common issue we see in older Albany homes. Our detailed electrical inspection involves thermal imaging and physical checks to pinpoint these exact hotspots and loose terminals, allowing us to make secure repairs before they cause a major failure.

I'm in Albany and my lights flicker. Should I get an electrical inspection?

Yes, you should. In our area, flickering lights are frequently a symptom of the local issues we specialize in: loose connections or an overloaded panel struggling with modern demands. An inspection by Hession Electric will determine the root cause—whether it's a single faulty circuit, a problem at the main panel, or something else. Addressing it promptly protects your home's wiring and your electrical devices.
