Koski Electric | Electrician for Preston, MD | Inspections & Repairs

Our thorough electrical inspection for older homes in Preston focuses on identifying safety hazards common in aging systems. We check for outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, faulty connections that could cause short circuits, and the condition of your grounding system. We also specifically evaluate generator transfer switch setups to ensure they are properly installed and function safely during a power outage.

In Preston, transfer switch issues are often due to corrosion from our coastal environment, loose connections, or improper installation that doesn't meet current code. During an inspection, our electricians diagnose the specific problem—whether it's a faulty switch mechanism, wiring issue, or compatibility problem with your generator—and provide a reliable repair or upgrade to ensure your backup power works when you need it most.

Common signs in older Preston homes include frequent breaker trips, burning smells from outlets or switches, flickering lights, or discolored/buzzing outlets. These indicate a serious fire hazard. You should immediately turn off power to the affected area at the breaker panel and call a professional. Koski Electric can safely locate the short circuit, which is often in old, damaged wiring or outdated devices, and perform the necessary repair to restore safety.
