Electrical Contractor Decatur IL | Call I Q Electric

Absolutely. During a standard electrical inspection, we specifically test and verify the operation of your generator's transfer switch. We check for proper wiring, secure connections, and signs of wear or corrosion that are common in our climate. This proactive check ensures your backup power will engage safely and reliably when you need it most, preventing failure during an outage.

We use specialized equipment and techniques to assess circuits that may be affected by underground cable issues. Signs like unexplained power fluctuations, tripping breakers, or dead outlets in a specific area can indicate a problem. Our inspection process helps pinpoint the likely source, allowing us to recommend a targeted repair before the damage causes a complete loss of power or becomes a safety hazard.

Many older homes in Decatur have original wiring that may not meet modern safety standards and can be susceptible to the local issues of underground cable degradation or outdated connection methods for critical systems like generators. A thorough inspection from I Q Electric evaluates the entire system's health, identifies these aging components, and provides a clear plan to upgrade for safety, reliability, and compliance with current codes.
