Common Questions
Why is an electrical inspection important after a major storm in South Bend?
Storms in our area can cause surge damage and water infiltration that isn't always visible. A professional electrical inspection by K & R Electric can identify compromised wiring, corroded connections, or panel damage that could lead to fires or system failure. It's a critical step to ensure your home's safety and avoid costly repairs down the line.
What does an inspection cover for generator transfer switch issues?
Our inspection for generator systems focuses on safety and reliability. We test the automatic transfer switch to ensure it properly isolates your home from the utility grid and seamlessly connects to your generator. We check for correct wiring, corrosion from weather exposure, and verify the switch is properly rated for your home's electrical load to prevent overloads and hazards.
Can you fix electrical damage from a storm surge, or is a full rewiring needed?
It depends on the extent of the damage found during our inspection. Often, surge damage is localized to specific circuits, outlets, or the main panel, which we can repair or replace. Our goal is always to restore safety and function with the most efficient solution, only recommending a full rewiring if the system integrity is extensively compromised.
