Iowa City Electrician | Electrical Inspections & Repair | Iowa City, IA

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed check of attics, basements, and crawl spaces—common areas where rodents nest and chew on wiring. We identify exposed, frayed, or damaged wires that pose serious fire and shock risks. By catching this damage early, we can make the necessary repairs to restore safety and prevent more extensive, costly problems down the line.

Absolutely. A frequent issue for Iowa City homeowners is a generator transfer switch that fails to engage. Our electrical inspection specifically tests the transfer switch, its connections, and control circuitry to pinpoint the cause—whether it's a faulty component, wiring issue, or improper installation. We'll provide a clear diagnosis and repair to ensure your backup power activates reliably when you need it most.

Be alert for signs like flickering lights, burning smells, or circuits that trip frequently—these can indicate chewed wiring. For your generator, if it runs but doesn't power your home, or the switch makes a humming sound but doesn't transfer, your transfer switch likely needs attention. If you notice any of these issues, we recommend a professional inspection to assess the safety of your system.
