Hartman Electric: Top-Rated Electrical Company Serving Prior Lake 55372

In our humid summers, moisture can cause corrosion on your electrical meter base and connections, leading to power flickers or even failure. Our thorough electrical inspection includes a detailed check of the meter assembly for early signs of corrosion, loose connections, or heat damage. Catching this early allows us to clean, tighten, or replace components to prevent a full failure, which can be a safety hazard and lead to a service interruption from your utility company.

This is a very common issue here. Winter freeze-thaw cycles can push moisture into outdoor outlet boxes, damaging the internal components and GFCI protection. Our inspection tests all outdoor outlets for proper function, ground fault protection, and signs of water intrusion. We can then recommend solutions like upgrading to weatherproof "in-use" covers or relocating outlets to prevent future freeze damage and ensure your outdoor spaces remain safely powered.

We tailor our inspections for our climate. Beyond standard safety checks, we specifically examine: 1) The meter base and main panel for corrosion from summer humidity, 2) All exterior outlets, fixtures, and conduit for freeze damage and water-tight integrity, and 3) Grounding systems, which are crucial for safety during Minnesota thunderstorms. Our report gives you a clear picture of any vulnerabilities unique to our area so you can address them proactively.
