South Burlington Electrical Inspection | Fix Underground Cables & Generator Switches

Absolutely. During a thorough electrical inspection, we specifically check for signs of trouble with underground service entries, which are a frequent local issue. We assess the integrity of connections at the meter and panel, look for evidence of past damage or corrosion, and test for proper grounding and voltage stability. Catching early warning signs of a failing underground cable can prevent a sudden and costly loss of power to your home.

Generator transfer switch failures are common in our area, often due to worn components, corrosion from weather, or incorrect installation. Our electrical inspection includes a full assessment of your transfer switch. We test its automatic and manual operation, check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion, and verify it's properly integrated with your home's main panel. This ensures your backup power will activate reliably when you need it most.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before purchasing a property. Given the local soil conditions and weather that can stress underground cables and outdoor equipment like transfer switches, being proactive is key. You should also schedule an inspection if you're adding major appliances, notice flickering lights, or have experienced any storm-related electrical issues. It's a smart, neighborly step to ensure safety and prevent emergencies.
