About Jensen Electric in Bozeman, MT

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are designed to detect dangerous electrical arcs, a common fire hazard in older wiring or damaged cords. In Bozeman's homes, these trips can be triggered by aging wiring, overloaded circuits, or appliances with worn cords. Our comprehensive electrical inspection identifies the specific cause—whether it's faulty wiring, a problematic appliance, or an overloaded circuit—so we can make the precise repair needed to restore safety and prevent nuisance trips.

First, ensure your generator is running and properly connected. If the switch still fails to transfer power, it could indicate an issue with the switch mechanism, a wiring fault, or a problem with the utility power sensing. Do not attempt to bypass the switch. Contact Jensen Electric for a safety-focused inspection. We'll diagnose the problem with your transfer switch, repair any faulty components, and test the entire system to ensure it will function reliably when you need it most.

A professional electrical inspection provides peace of mind by proactively identifying potential hazards like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, or faulty connections that could lead to arcing, fires, or equipment failure. Given our local issues with arc fault breakers and transfer switches, an inspection can pinpoint the root causes before they cause an outage or safety concern. It's a smart investment in your home's safety, efficiency, and readiness for Bozeman's weather-related power challenges.
