A repair plan for the fault you have

Generator or transfer issue

Backup power problems can involve more than the generator itself. We look at the reported symptoms before discussing the work.

Repair or new installation

Repair fits an existing system with a fault. If you need a new generator installed, that is a different scope of work.

Residential and commercial needs

A home and a business can rely on different circuits during an outage. We discuss the circuits that matter to your property.

When this service is the right fit

A homeowner may find that a generator runs but the house stays dark. We check the transfer equipment and its electrical connections, then discuss the repair indicated by the fault.

How transfer equipment affects backup power

Transfer switch
The transfer switch changes the source supplying connected circuits. A fault there can interrupt power from the generator.
Control wiring
Control wiring carries signals used by transfer equipment. We check the wiring when the symptoms point to a control fault.
Utility sensing
Utility sensing lets compatible transfer equipment detect the utility power condition. We consider that signal when assessing an automatic transfer fault.

Questions about generator and transfer faults

Can a faulty transfer switch keep my generator from powering my home?

Yes, faulty switch contacts can keep generator power from reaching your home. Electrician Pittsburgh checks the transfer equipment to identify the fault. The generator may run while a connection in the transfer switch fails. We use the symptoms and our assessment to determine what needs repair before you approve the work.

What should I tell you about a generator fault?

The generator's behavior and the affected circuits give us a useful starting point. Tell us whether the generator ran and which parts of the property stayed without power. Any unusual sounds or visible warning messages are also useful to share. We can use that information to plan the assessment and discuss access to the equipment.

When is a generator problem an electrical emergency?

A burning smell or buzzing electrical panel can signal a fire risk and calls for urgent attention. Stay away from the affected equipment and contact us about the hazard. Don't open the panel or handle damaged wiring. If there's smoke or fire, leave the property and call emergency services.

Which transfer switch fault changes the repair scope?

The location of the fault changes the repair scope. A damaged connection and a problem with the equipment's control signal can call for different work. We assess the switch and its related electrical connections before recommending a repair. The findings also help us explain which parts of the system need attention.

Why might a home lose power while its generator is running?

A transfer fault can prevent a running generator from supplying the home's connected circuits. Other electrical faults can also interrupt that path. We assess the generator and the connection to the property to find the cause. Tell us which circuits stayed off, since a backup system may serve only selected circuits.
