Q&A
How can an electrical inspection help prepare my Waukegan home for storm season?
Our thorough electrical inspection identifies potential hazards like outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and improper grounding that are vulnerable during Waukegan's severe storms. We check your entire system's integrity to ensure it can handle power surges and outages safely, helping prevent electrical fires and damage. This proactive service gives you peace of mind before the next storm hits our area.
My generator didn't kick in during the last outage. Can you inspect the transfer switch?
Absolutely. A faulty or improperly installed transfer switch is a common issue we see in Waukegan after storms. Our inspection tests the switch's automatic operation, verifies all connections are secure and up to code, and ensures it safely isolates your home from the main grid. We'll diagnose why it failed and provide a reliable fix so your backup power works seamlessly next time.
What specific things do you check in an inspection related to backup power readiness?
For Waukegan homes relying on generators, our inspection focuses on the transfer switch installation, the inlet box condition, the capacity of your home's circuits relative to the generator, and proper grounding. We ensure the system meets local codes and operates safely, preventing back-feeding dangers to utility workers and protecting your home's electronics from improper power transfer.
