Reliable Electrical Services in Woburn, MA 1801 - Patriot Electric

Generator transfer switches can fail due to infrequent use, corrosion, or improper installation—common issues in our New England climate. A Patriot Electric inspection thoroughly tests the switch's operation, checks for corrosion at connections, and verifies it's wired correctly to your home's panel. We identify the root cause, whether it's a faulty component or a wiring problem, and provide a reliable fix so your backup power activates seamlessly during an outage.

Frequent arc fault breaker trips are a major local headache, often caused by hidden wiring damage, overloaded circuits, or incompatible appliances. Our detailed inspection goes beyond resetting the breaker. We'll trace the circuit, inspect outlets and switches for loose connections, check for damaged wire insulation (common in older Woburn homes), and assess your appliance load. This pinpoints the specific hazard causing the nuisance trips, allowing us to make a precise, lasting repair.

We recommend a professional inspection every few years, or immediately if you're experiencing issues like breaker trips, flickering lights, or before installing a major appliance. It's especially crucial for older homes in our area. An inspection provides peace of mind by uncovering hidden risks like outdated wiring, overloaded panels, or improper grounding that standard DIY checks can miss. It's a proactive step to prevent electrical fires and ensure your family's safety.
