Dolva Electric | Best Electrical Services in Hawley, MN

Absolutely. During our comprehensive electrical inspection, we specifically check the meter base and connections for signs of corrosion, which is a common issue in our climate due to moisture and temperature swings. Identifying and cleaning or replacing corroded components early can prevent unexpected power outages, safety hazards, and more costly repairs down the line.

We recommend a proactive inspection, especially before winter. Our electricians will assess the condition and tension of the service drop (the lines from the pole to your house) and the mast where it enters your home. We can reinforce weak points, ensure proper clearance from roofs where snow slides, and recommend tree trimming to prevent heavy, snow-laden branches from falling on the lines.

Be alert for flickering lights, a buzzing meter, or a complete loss of power, which can indicate damage from ice or snow load. If you see a downed service line, stay away and call the utility company immediately. For issues at the meter or where the service enters your house, contact us. We can safely inspect for damage, repair connections, and ensure your home's electrical system is secure and up to code.
