Common Questions

Can an electrical inspection from Kennelly Electric find out why my outlets in Westfield are getting hot?

Absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection is specifically designed to diagnose safety hazards like overheated outlets. Our Westfield-based electricians will check for overloaded circuits, loose connections, outdated wiring, or faulty devices that are common causes of overheating. We provide a detailed report and recommend the necessary repairs to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and up to current NJ code standards.

My generator won't kick on during a Westfield power outage. Could it be a transfer switch issue?

Yes, that's a very common local problem. The transfer switch is the critical link between your home's wiring and your generator. If it fails, your backup power won't activate. Our electricians are experts in troubleshooting, repairing, and installing generator transfer switches. We'll inspect the switch for mechanical failure, wiring faults, or compatibility issues and get your emergency power system functioning reliably for the next outage.

How often should Westfield homeowners get an electrical inspection, especially with older homes?

For safety, we recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for any home, and immediately if you notice issues like hot outlets or frequently tripping breakers. In Westfield's many charming older homes, wiring systems can degrade or become insufficient for modern electrical loads. A routine inspection by Kennelly Electric can proactively identify these risks, prevent fires, and give you peace of mind about your family's safety.
