Local Electricians in Cherry Valley, IL 61016 - Vander Waal Electric

A thorough electrical inspection by Vander Waal Electric proactively checks your entire backup power system, including the transfer switch. We test for worn components, proper wiring, and safe connections that are common failure points, especially after seasonal storms. This helps ensure your generator will automatically and safely take over during a power outage, which is critical for our area.

First, safely ensure your main breaker is on and the generator has fuel. If it still won't transfer, the issue is often with the automatic transfer switch itself—a common problem we see locally after power surges. Don't attempt to repair it yourself. Contact Vander Waal Electric for a professional diagnosis and repair to get your backup power restored safely.

Storms in Cherry Valley can cause unpredictable power surges and outages that stress your home's electrical system. Our inspection identifies vulnerabilities like outdated panels, faulty grounding, or inadequate surge protection that could lead to failure or hazard during an outage. We help fortify your system so it's more resilient when severe weather hits.
