Common Questions

Can an electrical inspection identify problems with my older home's wiring?

Absolutely. For Rhinebeck's many historic and older homes, a professional electrical inspection from Hitchcock & Company is a crucial first step. Our licensed electricians thoroughly evaluate your system's condition, looking for outdated knob-and-tube wiring, deteriorated insulation, overloaded circuits, and other safety hazards common with aging infrastructure. We provide a detailed report and clear recommendations to bring your electrical system up to safe, modern standards.

Why might my home's generator transfer switch not be working properly?

Generator transfer switch issues are a common local concern. Problems often stem from improper installation, corrosion from outdoor exposure, a faulty switch mechanism, or an incompatible connection between the generator and your home's electrical panel. Our electricians diagnose the specific cause—whether it's a wiring fault, a failed component, or a need for an updated switch model—and perform the precise repair or replacement needed to ensure your backup power activates reliably during a Rhinebeck outage.

What does a standard electrical inspection from Hitchcock & Company include?

Our standard inspection is a comprehensive safety check of your home's electrical system. We examine the service panel for proper labeling and capacity, test outlets and GFCIs for correct wiring and protection, evaluate the condition of visible wiring, check lighting fixtures, and assess major appliance circuits. For local homeowners, we pay special attention to signs of aging wiring and the proper function of any installed generator transfer switches, providing you with peace of mind and a clear path to any necessary repairs.
