Spartan Electric - East Lansing's Licensed Electrical Services

Absolutely. Many power surges originate from within the home due to faulty wiring, outdated panels, or improper grounding. Our comprehensive electrical inspection identifies these vulnerabilities. We check your home's grounding system, evaluate your circuit breaker panel for capacity, and look for any degraded wiring that could cause internal surges. Addressing these issues proactively is the best way to protect your appliances from costly damage common in our area.

Generator transfer switch issues in East Lansing often stem from improper installation, lack of maintenance, or wear from infrequent testing. A faulty switch means your backup power won't reach your home's circuits during an outage. Our electrical inspection service specifically tests the transfer switch for correct operation, verifies its installation meets National Electric Code (NEC) and local standards, and ensures all connections are secure. We can diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repair or replacement to guarantee your generator works when you need it most.

Be proactive if you notice frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or if your home is over 20 years old and hasn't had a system review. Especially before storm season, if you rely on a generator, test its transfer switch. If it fails or operates inconsistently, it's time for an inspection. These are key signs your system may be struggling with the demands of modern appliances or has flaws that could lead to surge damage or generator failure.
