Reliable Electrical Company in Sharon, WI 53585 - Contracting Unlimited

Our licensed electricians perform detailed inspections specifically looking for vulnerabilities common in our Wisconsin climate. We check outdoor outlets for proper weatherproofing, correct GFCI installation, and signs of existing water or ice damage. By identifying and repairing issues like cracked seals or inadequate covers, we prevent moisture intrusion that can lead to freezing, short circuits, and hazardous shocks, ensuring your outdoor power is safe year-round.

While tree roots don't directly cause improper grounding, overgrown trees can damage overhead service lines or the conduit protecting your ground wire. Our tree care services include strategic trimming to keep branches safely away from power lines and professional removal of trees too close to your home's electrical mast. This prevents physical damage that could compromise your entire grounding system, a key factor in preventing electrical surges and ensuring safety.

Common local signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, tingling sensations when touching appliances, non-functional GFCI outlets (especially crucial in damp areas), or flickering lights. Given the age of some homes in our area and the soil conditions affecting ground rods, these issues are not uncommon. We recommend a professional electrical inspection if you experience any of these symptoms to diagnose and correct improper grounding, protecting your family and electronics.
