About United Electric in Cascade, MT

An inspection by United Electric proactively identifies worn, outdated, or overloaded wiring—common culprits for short circuits in historic homes. Our electricians check your panel, outlets, and circuits for signs of deterioration or improper DIY work. We then provide a clear report and recommendations, such as GFCI outlet installation or circuit breaker updates, to significantly reduce your risk of a dangerous short and bring your home's electrical system up to modern safety standards.

Absolutely. Unreliable transfer switches are a frequent issue in Cascade, especially after periods of non-use or severe weather. Our inspection tests the entire automatic transfer switch (ATS) system, from the control wiring and sensors to the mechanical operation. We diagnose whether the problem is a faulty component, a wiring issue, or a need for recalibration. We'll repair or replace the switch to ensure your home seamlessly transitions to backup power when the grid goes down.

Our comprehensive inspection is tailored to local needs. We evaluate your main service panel for safety and capacity, test all GFCI and AFCI outlets (crucial for older homes), check for proper grounding, inspect visible wiring in attics and crawl spaces, and assess major appliances and your generator hookup. The goal is to give you a complete picture of your system's health, flagging potential fire hazards, shock risks, or code violations specific to Montana and Cascade's climate.
