Local Electrical Contractor in East Haddam, CT 6423 - Schimetschek Greg Electric

In East Haddam, flickering lights or intermittent power can often point to damaged underground cables or a faulty connection at your service entrance. Our comprehensive electrical inspection meticulously checks your entire system, from the meter to your main panel and key circuits, to pinpoint the exact cause. Identifying issues like corroded underground lines early can prevent a complete outage and more costly repairs down the road.

This is a common issue we see locally, typically caused by a fault in the automatic transfer switch (ATS). This critical component detects the outage and signals your generator to start. Our inspection service tests the ATS's circuitry, connections, and control signals to diagnose problems like failed sensors, loose wiring, or mechanical wear. Ensuring your transfer switch is functional is key to having reliable backup power when you need it most.

For older homes, our inspection goes beyond standard checks. We pay special attention to the aging underground service cable, which can degrade and become a hazard, and assess the capacity and safety of your existing electrical panel. We also evaluate wiring for outdated materials like knob-and-tube and ensure all outdoor and grounding systems are intact to handle local weather conditions. This gives you a complete picture of your home's electrical health and safety.
