Marathon Electric: Reliable Electrical Company Serving Wausau 54401

During an inspection, our electricians check for any breaches or weaknesses in your conduit seals and insulation that could allow moisture to enter. When this moisture freezes, it can expand and damage the wiring inside. We identify these vulnerabilities early, recommend repairs like sealing conduits or adding heat tape in critical areas, and help you avoid the outages and costly wire replacements that come with winter damage.

Wausau's weather can accelerate corrosion on electrical meters and connections due to moisture and road salt. Our inspection includes a careful examination of the meter base, service entrance cables, and grounding connections for signs of rust, pitting, or green corrosion (verdigris). Catching this early is crucial, as advanced corrosion can lead to poor connections, overheating, and even meter failure, which we can then repair or replace to ensure safety and accurate billing.

A pre-winter inspection is one of the best ways to prepare your Wausau home for the season ahead. We proactively test GFCIs and AFCIs that protect against shocks and fires, ensure your heating system's electrical components are safe, and verify all outdoor connections and conduits are sealed against moisture ingress. This preventative step helps mitigate the risks of frozen conduit damage and corrosion, giving you peace of mind for a safe, warm, and uninterrupted winter.
