Electrical Company Hopkinsville KY | Call Kentucky West Electric

Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive electrical inspection from Kentucky West Electric includes testing your backup power system. We specifically check the transfer switch for proper operation, wiring integrity, and safe connection to your main panel. This is crucial in our area, as transfer switch failures are a common cause of generator problems. Our inspection can prevent a situation where your generator fails to activate during a power outage.

If you notice flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or have lost power without a widespread outage, a damaged underground cable is a likely cause. Do not attempt to dig or repair it yourself, as this is extremely dangerous. Contact Kentucky West Electric immediately. Our team uses specialized equipment to diagnose the fault location and performs safe, code-compliant trenching and cable replacement to permanently restore your service.

While an inspection can't see underground, it assesses the entire system's health. We check for voltage fluctuations, grounding issues, and overloaded circuits at the main panel—all signs that can point to stress or damage on the service line feeding your home. Identifying these warning signs early allows us to investigate further before a complete cable failure occurs, saving you from a sudden, costly outage and more extensive repairs.
