Absolutely. A key part of our electrical inspection is a thorough visual and diagnostic check of your home's wiring, particularly in attics, basements, and crawlspaces where rodents often nest. We look for gnaw marks, frayed insulation, and other signs of damage. Identifying and repairing this damage proactively is crucial for preventing short circuits and potential fire hazards, giving Holden homeowners peace of mind.

Yes, a faulty transfer switch is a common reason generators fail to activate. Our electrical inspection service includes a full assessment of your generator's connection and transfer switch. We'll check for proper installation, wear and tear, and correct operation to ensure your backup power system works reliably when you need it most, especially during Maine's winter storms.

For safety, we recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before a major renovation or appliance upgrade. Given our local issues with rodents and aging systems, regular inspections help catch small problems—like chewed wiring or a corroding transfer switch—before they become expensive or dangerous emergencies. It's a smart, preventative step for any homeowner.
