Expert Electrical Company in Durango, CO 81301 - Newby Electric

Our electrical inspections include a thorough check of your generator transfer switch to ensure it's properly installed and functioning. In Durango, where power outages can occur, a faulty switch can leave you without backup power. We test the switch's operation, inspect wiring for wear or corrosion common in our climate, and recommend repairs or upgrades to keep your generator ready when you need it most.

Yes, absolutely. During an electrical inspection, we assess your home's vulnerability to power surges, which are a frequent issue in Durango due to weather and grid fluctuations. We check your existing surge protection, test outlets, and can recommend or install whole-house surge suppressors or point-of-use devices to shield your computers, TVs, and other electronics from damage.

Keep an eye out for signs like flickering lights, tripped breakers, or buzzing sounds from electrical panels, which can indicate underlying issues. For generator switches, test them periodically (following manufacturer guidelines) and schedule a professional inspection with us every few years. For surge protection, ensure you have quality surge protectors and consider an upgrade if your home is older. Our inspections can identify these risks early, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
