Hoboken Electrician | Generator & Wiring Repair | South Paw Electric

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes a detailed check of your generator's transfer switch, which is a common failure point. We test its operation, check for loose connections, corrosion, and ensure it's properly rated for your home's load. This proactive service identifies issues before the next power outage, ensuring your backup power kicks in reliably when you need it most.

During our inspection, we specifically look for signs of rodent activity in attics, crawl spaces, and behind walls, such as nesting materials, droppings, and, most importantly, gnaw marks on wiring insulation. Exposed wires are a fire hazard. We'll identify damaged sections and recommend safe repairs or protective measures like sealing entry points and using rodent-resistant conduit to prevent future problems.

Given our local issues with transfer switches and pests, regular inspections are a key part of home maintenance. They catch small, hidden problems—like early signs of switch wear or minor rodent damage—before they turn into costly repairs or dangerous situations like electrical fires or failed backup power. It's a smart, preventative step for safety and peace of mind.
