For Winston-Salem homes with aging wiring, a professional electrical inspection is a wise first step. Our electricians can assess your system's current condition, identify any safety hazards like outdated knob-and-tube wiring or insufficient circuits, and provide a clear plan for necessary updates or replacements to meet modern safety standards and power your home reliably.
What's involved in a generator installation for a Winston-Salem home?
We handle generator installations from start to finish. This includes helping you select the right size unit for your home's needs, obtaining any necessary permits, performing the electrical tie-in to your home's main panel with a proper transfer switch, and ensuring the system is tested and operational. For a community prone to severe weather, a properly installed generator provides critical backup power.
