Reeds Electrician | Generator & Surge Repair | Legacy Electrical Staffing

Absolutely. This is a common issue we see locally, often related to the generator transfer switch. Our electricians are experts in generator installation and repair. We'll diagnose the problem, which could be with the switch itself, its connection to your main electrical panel, or a wiring fault, and get your backup power system working reliably again.

We recommend a two-tiered approach. First, we can install a whole-house surge protector directly at your main electrical panel. This device absorbs large surges from the grid before they enter your home's wiring. Second, for critical electronics, we offer outlet installation or upgrades with built-in surge protection for an added layer of defense right at the point of use.

Not always, but it's a good time to assess. While we can certainly replace a damaged circuit breaker, frequent tripping or damage from a surge can indicate an overloaded or outdated electrical panel. During our electric inspection and repair service, we'll check your panel's capacity and condition. If an upgrade is needed for safety and to handle modern electrical loads, we'll explain the benefits of a new electric panel installation.
