Winchester Electric | Expert Electrical Contractor in Harvey, IL

Our thorough electrical inspection includes a detailed check of your generator's transfer switch, wiring, and connections—common points of failure in our area. We identify wear, corrosion, or improper installation that could cause your backup power to fail during a Harvey storm or outage, allowing us to make proactive repairs to ensure your system operates safely and reliably when you need it most.

First, unplug any affected devices and have Winchester Electric inspect your home's electrical system immediately. We'll diagnose the source of the surge, which is often related to utility fluctuations or internal wiring faults common in older Harvey homes. We can then repair the issue and strongly recommend installing a whole-home surge protector to prevent future costly damage to your electronics and appliances.

In Harvey, generator systems, especially transfer switches, can degrade due to weather and infrequent use. A professional inspection by Winchester Electric verifies that your entire backup power setup—from the generator to the panel connection—is installed correctly, up to current safety codes, and ready to handle a load. This prevents dangerous back-feeding to utility lines and ensures your family stays safe and powered during an emergency.
