For your safety, never attempt to bypass the switch. Our licensed electricians specialize in generator repair and installation. We will inspect your transfer switch, perform any necessary repairs, and ensure your entire system is correctly installed and ready to protect your Solvay home when you need it most.

Yes, in many cases. An outdated or undersized electric panel is often the root cause of overheated outlets and other electrical problems in older homes. These panels can't handle the demand of today's appliances, leading to overloaded circuits. Our electric panel installation and upgrade services provide a modern, safe foundation for your home's electrical system. A new panel with proper circuit breaker installation distributes power more safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of overheating and providing capacity for future needs like electric vehicle charging station installation. We can assess your current panel during an electric inspection and recommend the right solution.
