Kinsey Electric - Oakwood's Experienced Electrical Repair

Our comprehensive electrical inspection is designed specifically for aging homes in our area. We thoroughly examine your wiring, circuit breakers, outlets, and grounding systems for wear, corrosion, and safety hazards like overloaded circuits or outdated aluminum wiring. We'll check for proper GFCI/AFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and other wet areas, which is often missing in older installations. The goal is to give you a clear, prioritized report on any issues, from immediate safety concerns to recommended upgrades, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to modern standards.

This is a common issue we see, often due to a faulty or improperly maintained automatic transfer switch (ATS). In Oakwood's climate, moisture, corrosion, or simple wear and tear can cause the switch's internal components or sensors to fail. During an inspection, we test the entire transfer system—from the generator's control board to the ATS itself—to diagnose the exact point of failure. We ensure the switch is correctly sized for your home's electrical load and that all connections are secure and corrosion-free, restoring reliable automatic operation so you're never left in the dark.

Absolutely. A professional electrical inspection is your first line of defense. In many Oakwood homes, old wiring can have cracked insulation, loose connections at outlets or fixtures, and may be overloaded by modern appliances. These are all potential fire ignition points. Our inspection identifies these specific risks. We look for signs of overheating, test for proper grounding, and evaluate the condition of your electrical panel. By addressing these issues proactively—whether it's rewiring a circuit, upgrading the panel, or adding arc-fault protection—we significantly reduce the risk of an electrical fire, giving you peace of mind.
