Frequently Asked Questions

How can a home electrical inspection in New Haven help prevent generator transfer switch problems?

A comprehensive electrical inspection from Proper Electric includes testing your generator's automatic transfer switch (ATS). We check for proper installation, secure wiring connections, and correct operation to ensure it safely transitions power during an outage. Many local faults occur due to wear, corrosion, or improper setup. Our inspection identifies these issues early, preventing failure when you need your backup power most and ensuring your family's safety and comfort.

What should I look for in an electrical inspection to guard against power surge damage in my New Haven home?

During an inspection, our electricians specifically evaluate your home's defense against surges. We check the main service panel for a properly functioning whole-house surge protector, inspect grounding and bonding systems, and assess the condition of outlets in sensitive areas. Given local grid fluctuations, we ensure your major appliances and electronics have layered protection. We'll provide a clear report and recommendations, which may include installing or upgrading surge protection devices to safeguard your valuable equipment.

Why is it important to have a professional electrical inspection after installing a generator in Connecticut?

Professional inspection is crucial for safety and compliance. Connecticut electrical codes have specific requirements for generator and transfer switch installation to prevent back-feeding power to the grid, which is a serious hazard to utility workers. Our inspection verifies the entire system—from the generator pad to the transfer switch and your home's panel—is installed correctly, meets all state and local codes, and is ready for reliable operation. This gives you peace of mind that your backup power system is safe, legal, and dependable.
