Central Electric - Long Prairie's Reliable Electrical Company

Loose connections are a common source of heat buildup and potential fire hazards in older wiring. Our thorough electrical inspection involves checking all outlets, switches, and connections within your panel. We identify any that have worked loose over time due to thermal expansion and contraction—a particular concern in our climate—and secure them properly to ensure safe, reliable power throughout your home.

After significant snowfall, be alert for a complete loss of power, flickering lights, or a dangling service line (the cable from the pole to your house). The weight of ice and snow can strain or break these lines. If you notice any of these signs, contact Central Electric immediately. We can safely assess the damage on your property, make necessary repairs to your weatherhead and mast, and coordinate with the utility company to restore your service.

A pre-winter inspection is crucial to prepare your home's electrical system for harsh conditions. We proactively check for vulnerabilities that snow and ice could exploit, such as the integrity of your outdoor meter base and mast, the condition of your grounding system, and the load capacity of your circuits for increased heating use. This preventative step helps avoid emergency outages and ensures your family stays safe and warm all season.
