Frequently Asked Questions

How can an electrical inspection help prevent problems from snow damage to my home's wiring?

Snow and ice can put stress on external electrical lines and cause moisture issues. Our thorough electrical inspection checks for corrosion, damaged insulation, and overloaded circuits that winter weather can worsen. Identifying these issues early allows us to make repairs before they lead to a power failure or a safety hazard inside your Big Stone City home.

My generator isn't kicking in during an outage. Could it be a transfer switch issue?

Absolutely. A faulty transfer switch is a common reason a standby generator fails to power your home. During an electrical inspection, we test the switch's operation and connections to ensure it properly signals the generator to start and safely isolates your home from the main grid. We can repair or replace it to ensure you have reliable backup power when you need it most.

What should I look for after a heavy snowstorm that might indicate electrical damage?

After a storm, be alert for flickering lights, outlets that don't work, or a burning smell—these can signal damage. However, not all damage is obvious. The safest approach is to schedule a professional inspection with us. We'll check your service entrance, outdoor connections, and interior panel for hidden issues caused by snow load or ice, giving you peace of mind.
