Hammer Electric - Hillsboro's Licensed Electrical Company

Our comprehensive electrical inspections include a detailed check of your meter base and service entrance for early signs of corrosion, which is common here due to humidity and temperature swings. We'll clean any minor corrosion, ensure all connections are tight and properly sealed, and recommend protective measures or upgrades if needed to prevent safety hazards and potential power interruptions.

Hillsboro's freezing winters can cause moisture to seep into outdoor outlets, leading to internal damage, cracked housings, and corrosion. Our inspection service tests these outlets for proper grounding, checks for water damage inside the box, and verifies they are protected by a GFCI to prevent shock hazards. We can then repair or replace any compromised units to ensure safe outdoor power.

Keep an eye out for signs like flickering lights when it's humid (possible meter connection corrosion), an outdoor outlet that stopped working after a freeze, or any discoloration or rust around your outdoor electrical fixtures. If you notice these issues, it's a good idea to call us for a professional inspection. We can identify the root cause before it leads to a bigger, more expensive problem.
