Great Midwest Electric | Emergency Electrical Company in Saint Paul, MN

Our comprehensive electrical inspection specifically checks for signs of water intrusion and corrosion in panels, boxes, and meters—common issues in our climate. We identify moisture entry points, assess the integrity of seals and outdoor components, and recommend upgrades like weatherproof enclosures or GFCI outlets in vulnerable areas to prevent hazards before they occur.

Not necessarily. Corrosion often starts at the meter base or service entrance due to moisture. We start by assessing the extent of the damage. Often, repairing or replacing the corroded meter base and affected wiring is sufficient. If the corrosion has reached the main panel, we'll recommend a panel repair or upgrade to ensure safety and reliability for your Saint Paul home.

For any outdoor installation in Saint Paul, we use materials and techniques designed for our freeze-thaw cycles and moisture. This includes conduit rated for wet locations, watertight seals on all connections, and proper grounding. For generators, we ensure the transfer switch and inlet box are installed in a protected location and rated for outdoor use to prevent the very water damage we commonly repair.
