Electrical Contractor Portsmouth VA | Call Keene's Electric Service

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection by Keene's includes testing your generator's transfer switch and its connection to your home's main panel. We check for loose wiring, corrosion, and proper operation to ensure it will switch over seamlessly during one of our frequent coastal storms. This proactive service can prevent the frustration and danger of a backup power failure when you need it most.

Portsmouth's humid, salty air accelerates corrosion in standard outdoor outlets, leading to rust, poor connections, and trip hazards. Keene's Electric installs weatherproof, corrosion-resistant outlets and GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) covers designed for our specific coastal environment. We ensure a safe, code-compliant seal to protect the wiring from moisture, providing a lasting solution to a very common local problem.

As your local electrician, we recommend Portsmouth homeowners regularly check for signs of corrosion like rust or green deposits on outlet covers, flickering lights in outdoor fixtures, or GFCI outlets that won't reset. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to call Keene's for an inspection. Addressing minor corrosion early prevents more extensive and expensive wiring damage down the line, keeping your home safe.
