Gunderson Electrical Contracting | Experienced Electrical Company in Amery, WI

Our detailed electrical inspections specifically check the condition, sealing, and GFCI protection of your outdoor outlets. In Amery's climate, water can seep in, freeze, and crack housings or damage internal components, creating shock and fire risks. We identify outlets that are aged, poorly sealed, or lack proper weatherproof covers and recommend upgrades or replacements to prevent costly freeze damage and ensure safety.

After severe winter weather, visually inspect where the service lines from the pole connect to your house (the masthead and service entrance cables). Look for ice accumulation, sagging lines, or damaged insulation. Never touch these lines yourself. If you see damage, contact Gunderson Electrical for a safety inspection. We can assess for stress, corrosion, or loose connections caused by the weight of ice and snow, which are common local issues we repair.

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are crucial for safety in wet, freezing conditions. They instantly shut off power if a fault is detected, preventing electrocution. Melting snow, ice, and rain increase the risk of water contacting outdoor outlets. Our inspections verify all exterior outlets are GFCI-protected, and we install them where needed. This is a key part of winterizing your Amery home's electrical system to guard against the hazards of freeze-thaw cycles.
