Q&A

How can an electrical inspection from HORNELL & SOUTHERN TIER ELECTRIC help if my generator keeps failing to switch on during an outage?

Our electrical inspection specifically checks your generator's transfer switch, wiring connections, and overall system integration. In the Canisteo area, issues often stem from improper installation, corrosion, or faulty components within the switch itself. We'll identify the exact cause—whether it's a wiring fault or a malfunctioning switch—and provide a clear repair plan to ensure your backup power works reliably when you need it most.

My GFCI outlets in the kitchen or bathroom keep tripping or have stopped working. Can your inspection service diagnose this common local problem?

Absolutely. Persistent GFCI issues are frequently a symptom of underlying problems like ground faults, moisture intrusion, or circuit overloads. Our detailed electrical inspection tests these outlets, traces the wiring, and checks the entire circuit for faults. We'll pinpoint whether the issue is a single faulty outlet, a wiring problem, or a need for an updated circuit layout, providing a lasting solution to restore safety and function.

As a general contractor, do you handle the full repair after an inspection finds a problem with my generator switch or outlets?

Yes, we provide a complete solution. Once our inspection identifies the issue—be it replacing a faulty transfer switch, rewiring a circuit, or upgrading outdated GFCI outlets—our team as licensed electricians and general contractors will perform all necessary repairs or installations. We handle everything from permits to final testing, ensuring the work is done correctly, safely, and up to current electrical code for your Canisteo home.
