Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Votaw Electric inspection for a commercial property?
Our commercial electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of your property's entire electrical system. We examine the main service panel, circuit breakers, wiring, grounding, lighting systems, and all critical safety components. For businesses, we also assess load capacity for future expansion, the integrity of emergency systems, and compliance with current NEC (National Electrical Code) standards. This detailed inspection helps identify potential hazards, inefficiencies, or code violations, providing you with a clear report and recommendations to ensure a safe and reliable electrical environment for your employees and customers.
My Fort Wayne home's breaker panel keeps tripping. Can Votaw Electric help diagnose this?
Absolutely. Frequent breaker trips in Fort Wayne homes are often a sign of an overloaded circuit, outdated wiring, or a faulty appliance. Our electricians start by safely identifying the specific circuit causing the issue and tracing the load. We check for common local factors, such as older aluminum wiring in some area homes or the added demand from modern appliances. We'll diagnose the root cause—whether it's simply redistributing the load, upgrading a circuit, or addressing a wiring fault—and provide a reliable, code-compliant solution to restore safe and consistent power to your home.
Does Votaw Electric service residential generator transfer switches?
Yes, we do. A faulty generator transfer switch is a critical safety issue, as it prevents your backup power from engaging properly during a Fort Wayne outage. Our licensed electricians are trained to service all major brands of transfer switches. We test the automatic and manual functions, inspect the connections for corrosion or wear—common in our Indiana climate—and ensure the switch is properly integrated with your home's main electrical panel. Proper maintenance and repair of this component are essential for ensuring your generator reliably takes over when the grid power fails.
