Electrical Company Richfield WI | Call Erin Electric

A comprehensive electrical inspection by Erin Electric proactively identifies vulnerabilities in your home's electrical system that winter weather can exploit. We check for worn exterior connections, proper grounding, and the integrity of your meter base and mast—common points of failure from ice and snow load. This preventative step can help avoid dangerous situations like arcing or a complete power loss during a storm.

Safely connecting a portable generator requires a professionally installed transfer switch. This device isolates your home from the main power grid, preventing 'backfeed' which is extremely dangerous for utility workers and can damage your home's electrical system. For Richfield residents, a proper transfer switch ensures your generator provides reliable backup power to essential circuits without risk, especially during extended outages from ice storms.

If you see sagging or damaged service lines, a leaning mast, or hear crackling sounds near your meter after a winter storm, the safest action is to call Erin Electric immediately. Do not attempt repairs yourself. Our licensed electricians will safely assess the damage, make any necessary temporary repairs to restore power safely, and coordinate with your utility for permanent fixes to ensure your home's electrical service is secure and up to code.
