Absolutely. A malfunctioning generator transfer switch is a frequent issue we address for local homeowners. During our electrical inspection, we specifically test the transfer switch for proper operation, check connections for corrosion, and verify it's correctly wired to your home's main panel.

Based on common local issues, we advise Mattoon residents to visually check for signs of rodent nesting near electrical boxes, listen for unusual buzzing from outlets (which can indicate damaged wiring), and test their generator's transfer switch functionality before storm season.

Our professional inspection is the safest way to uncover these risks, giving you a complete picture of your home's electrical health and preventing costly emergencies.
