About Live Wire Electric in Cottonwood, ID

Our electrical inspection specifically checks the integrity and function of your generator transfer switch, a common point of failure in our area. We'll test the switch's operation, inspect for corrosion or loose connections, and ensure it safely isolates your home from the grid during an outage. This proactive check prevents the dangerous situation of a faulty switch leaving you without backup power when you need it most.

Absolutely. A primary focus of our inspection is evaluating your breaker panel's load capacity against your home's current electrical demands, a frequent issue in older Cottonwood homes. We'll map your circuits, calculate the load, and check for signs of overheating or wear. This allows us to determine if the tripping is due to a simple overload, a faulty breaker, or outdated wiring, and we'll provide a clear plan to resolve it safely.

Our standard inspection for Cottonwood homes is tailored to local concerns. We thoroughly examine your breaker panel and wiring for overload risks, test all ground fault and arc fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs/AFCIs) for safety, verify the operation of critical systems like generator transfer switches, and check for outdated wiring like knob-and-tube that may be a hazard. The goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health and safety.
