Yes, absolutely. Overheated outlets are a common issue in our area, often caused by loose connections, outdated wiring, or circuits being overloaded. Our comprehensive electrical inspection specifically checks for these problems. We'll identify the root cause, whether it's in the outlet itself or the wiring behind it, and provide a clear solution to eliminate the fire hazard and restore safe operation.

Our inspection for your generator transfer switch is crucial, especially given the frequency of faults in Somers. We verify that the switch is properly installed, wired, and bonded to your home's electrical panel. We test its automatic and manual operation to ensure it safely disconnects from the utility grid and engages your generator during an outage, preventing dangerous backfeed and protecting your home and utility workers.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given the local issues with overheating and transfer switches, it's also wise to schedule an inspection if you notice any warning signs like warm outlets, flickering lights, or if your generator hasn't been tested recently. Proactive inspections are the best way to prevent the common electrical problems we see in our community.
