Expert Electrical Services in Altoona, PA 16602 - Rhodes Electric

A professional electrical inspection from Rhodes Electric includes a thorough check of your generator's transfer switch. We test its operation, verify all connections are secure and corrosion-free, and ensure it meets current safety codes. This proactive service identifies wear, improper installation, or component failure common in our area, preventing the switch from failing when you need your generator most during an Altoona power outage.

Often, no. A general home inspection is visual and doesn't test the electrical system's performance under load or its protection levels. Our specialized electrical inspection evaluates your service panel, grounding, and existing surge protection. We can identify if your home is vulnerable to the surges common on Altoona's grid and recommend whole-house or point-of-use surge protectors to safeguard your appliances and electronics.

Repeated appliance damage is a strong sign your home lacks adequate surge protection. The first step is to contact Rhodes Electric for an electrical inspection. We'll check if your main panel has a whole-house surge protector and if your electrical grounding is effective. We often find that older Altoona homes have outdated systems that can't handle modern surge loads, and we can install the right protection to prevent future costly replacements.
