Kummer Electric - Erie's Reliable Electrical Company

Our inspections specifically check the condition and sealing of your outdoor outlets, which are vulnerable to Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles. Moisture intrusion can cause cracking and corrosion inside the box, leading to shorts or failures. We assess the outlet's weatherproof rating, proper GFCI protection, and conduit seals to ensure everything is watertight and up to current safety codes, preventing damage before it occurs.

We examine the conduit runs, especially those on exterior walls or underground, for signs of condensation, cracking, or improper drainage. When water gets inside and freezes, it can expand and damage the wiring insulation or even split the conduit itself. Our inspection identifies these risks, and we can recommend solutions like re-routing, better sealing, or installing heated trace lines to protect vulnerable areas.

A hard freeze can cause immediate or latent damage that isn't always obvious. Connections can become brittle, seals can fail, and moisture may now be trapped inside your electrical system. A post-freeze inspection by Kummer Electric gives you peace of mind by catching these hidden issues early. It's a proactive step to avoid unexpected power outages or potential fire hazards as the weather warms up and systems are under load again.
