Questions and Answers

What should I do if I find water in an outdoor outlet after a storm or thaw in Kalamazoo?

First, turn off the power to that circuit at your breaker panel for safety—do not use the outlet. Water intrusion and freeze damage in outdoor outlets are common local issues that can create serious shock and fire hazards. Our licensed electricians at Thompson Electrical can safely inspect the damage, replace the compromised outlet with a weather-resistant, GFCI-protected model designed for our Michigan climate, and check your entire outdoor electrical system to prevent future problems.

My home's electrical panel is from the 1980s. Do I need an upgrade?

Many homes in our area built around the time we started our business in 1984 may have panels that are now undersized for modern electrical demands. Our electricians can perform a thorough electrical inspection to assess your panel's capacity and safety. An upgrade to a modern panel can prevent breaker trips, improve safety, and provide the capacity needed for new appliances, EV chargers, or home additions, ensuring your system is reliable and up to current code.

Why should I consider a whole-house generator installation?

Given Michigan's unpredictable weather, a permanently installed generator automatically keeps your home's essential systems running during a power outage. Our team specializes in professional generator installation and repair, ensuring the unit is correctly sized for your home, safely connected to your electrical panel with a transfer switch, and compliant with all local codes. This provides peace of mind, protecting your family, preserving food, and maintaining heat or sump pump operation during extended outages common in the Kalamazoo area.
