Cihlar Electric Service - Brodhead's Trusted Electrical Company

GFCI outlets are designed to protect you from shock by cutting power when they detect a ground fault. In our climate, melting snow and ice can lead to moisture intrusion in outdoor receptacles or garage outlets, causing nuisance tripping. A Cihlar electrician can perform a detailed inspection to locate the source of the moisture or wiring issue, resolve it, and ensure your GFCIs are functioning properly for your safety.

Absolutely. While the main power lines are the utility's responsibility, the service entry cables and mast connecting your home can be vulnerable to ice and snow weight. Our inspection includes checking the integrity of your service entry, mast head, and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or improper installation that could lead to a failure during a heavy winter event, helping to prevent outages and potential hazards.

Our comprehensive electrical inspection for local homeowners includes checking your main service panel for proper capacity and safety, testing all GFCI and AFCI outlets, verifying grounding systems, inspecting wiring in attics and crawl spaces for rodent or moisture damage common in our area, and assessing outdoor fixtures and receptacles for weather-related wear. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your system's health and address any issues before they become emergencies.
