Flandreau Electrician | Electrical Inspection for Snow Damage & Voltage Drops | Bob's Electric

Our thorough electrical inspection checks for vulnerabilities in your home's exterior wiring, connections, and meter base that are most susceptible to ice and snow accumulation. We look for worn insulation, loose connections, and proper grounding to ensure your system can handle the added weight and moisture from South Dakota winters, helping to prevent outages and potential hazards before the next storm hits.

Common signs of a voltage drop in rural areas like ours include lights that dim when appliances turn on, motors (like in your furnace or well pump) running slower or hotter than usual, or electronics malfunctioning. Our inspection specifically tests for these issues at the panel and at various outlets to diagnose if the problem is within your home's wiring or related to the incoming service, providing a clear path to a stable power supply.

Absolutely. Older homes often have outdated wiring that may not meet current safety codes or handle today's electrical demands, making them more prone to the voltage fluctuations common here. Our inspection assesses the entire system's capacity and safety, checking for knob-and-tube wiring, insufficient grounding, and overloaded circuits, giving you peace of mind and a plan for any necessary upgrades.
