Dave Peterson Electric - Edwards's Best Electrical Contractor

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Dave Peterson Electric assesses your entire system for vulnerabilities. We specifically check your main service panel, grounding rods, and individual circuits for signs of past surge damage that can weaken components. More importantly, we evaluate if your home has adequate surge protection installed. In our high-altitude climate, this proactive inspection can identify failing components and recommend solutions, like whole-house surge protectors, to safeguard your expensive electronics and prevent electrical fires from future storms.

Mountain weather in Edwards, with its freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and road salts, can rapidly corrode the metal connections at your electrical meter base. This corrosion creates resistance, leading to overheating, power flickers, and even fire risk. During our electrical inspection, we meticulously examine the meter base and main connections for corrosion. If found, we safely disconnect power, replace the corroded components with weather-resistant materials, and ensure a tight, secure connection. This repair restores safe, reliable power flow to your entire home.

Be on the lookout for these local warning signs: frequent tripped breakers or blinking lights after a storm (potential surge damage), a burning smell near your electrical meter, visible green or white crusty deposits on the meter or service cables (corrosion), or flickering lights when major appliances turn on. If your home is over 10 years old or you've never had a professional inspection, it's a wise preventative step. Contact Dave Peterson Electric for a thorough assessment—we'll pinpoint any problems and provide clear, honest recommendations to ensure your Edwards home is safe.
