Question Answers

Why do my GFCI outlets in Jefferson keep tripping or failing, and what can Gettler Construction do?

In Jefferson, GFCI outlets can fail due to age, moisture from our local climate, or wiring issues. A tripping GFCI is often a sign it's doing its job to prevent shock. Gettler Construction performs comprehensive electrical inspections to diagnose the exact cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, a ground fault in the circuit, or moisture intrusion. We'll safely replace any failing GFCIs and address the underlying problem to restore safe, reliable power to your bathrooms, kitchen, or outdoor areas.

What are the signs of electrical meter corrosion, and why is an inspection important?

Signs include a humming sound from the meter box, visible rust or green corrosion on the connections, or flickering lights in your home. In Jefferson, weather exposure can accelerate this corrosion at the service entrance, which can lead to poor connections, overheating, and even power outages. Gettler Construction's electrical inspection includes checking your meter base and service mast for corrosion and wear. Identifying this early prevents more extensive damage to your home's electrical panel and ensures a safe, continuous connection from the utility to your house.
