What Cheer Electrician | Storm Outage & Meter Inspection | Indiana Electric Assn

Absolutely. Our thorough electrical inspections specifically check for early signs of meter corrosion, a common issue in our area due to environmental factors. By identifying corrosion on terminals or connections early, we can perform necessary cleaning or replacement to prevent power flickers, inaccurate billing, and potential safety hazards before they cause a major outage or damage.

First, check if your neighbors have power to determine if it's a widespread outage. If it's isolated to your home, safely inspect your home's main electrical panel for any tripped breakers. Do not touch a wet panel. If breakers are fine, the issue could be with your meter or external connections—common points of failure after severe weather. This is when you should call us for a professional inspection to safely diagnose and restore your power.

Our pre-storm electrical inspection focuses on vulnerabilities. We check the integrity of your meter base and mast, secure all external connections against wind and water, and ensure your grounding system is fully functional. This proactive service helps safeguard your home against storm-related surges and physical damage, reducing the risk of prolonged outages and protecting your appliances and electrical system.
