In Elizabeth, transfer switches can fail due to salt air corrosion, lack of use, or improper installation. Our electrical inspection tests the switch's automatic operation, checks for corrosion on connections, and verifies it's properly wired to your home's panel. This ensures your generator will safely take over during a power outage, which is critical for our area's weather.

Absolutely. Our coastal environment accelerates corrosion in outdoor outlets and GFCI receptacles. During an inspection, we check for moisture damage, test GFCI functionality, and ensure proper grounding. Catching early signs of corrosion prevents dangerous shorts, keeps your outdoor circuits working, and avoids more costly repairs down the line.

Beyond standard safety checks, we focus on local issues: testing all GFCI outlets (especially outdoors and in garages), inspecting the generator transfer switch and its connections for corrosion, evaluating the condition of outdoor wiring and conduit, and assessing the main panel for signs of stress from older home systems common in our area.
