Frequently Asked Questions
Why is an electrical inspection important after a storm outage in East Saint Louis?
After a storm, power surges and fluctuations can cause hidden damage to your home's wiring, circuit breakers, and appliances that isn't immediately visible. An inspection by McIntosh Electric identifies these issues to prevent electrical fires, equipment failure, and future outages, ensuring your system is safe to operate once power is restored.
Can you detect problems with underground service cables during an inspection?
Yes, absolutely. Part of our comprehensive electrical inspection involves checking the integrity of your service entry, which can indicate issues with underground cables. We look for signs of damage, such as flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or low voltage, which are common in our area and can pinpoint where underground repairs may be needed.
What specific things do you check in an inspection to prevent future outages?
Our inspection focuses on the components most vulnerable to local issues: we test grounding systems critical for storm safety, inspect the main panel and breakers for wear from surges, check all wiring connections for corrosion or damage, and assess the overall load capacity of your system to ensure it can handle normal and emergency operations reliably.
