Platt Electric Supply | Local Electrical Company in Meridian, ID

Yes, absolutely. A thorough electrical inspection by a qualified electrician can identify if your home's wiring, grounding, and panel are properly equipped to handle surges. For Meridian homes, this is crucial as our local grid and weather can cause spikes. An inspection might reveal the need for upgraded surge protection at the panel or point-of-use devices to safeguard your expensive electronics, which is a common issue we hear about from local customers.

During an inspection, a professional will check the meter base and enclosure for signs of white, green, or bluish corrosion, which is a known issue in our area due to environmental factors. This corrosion can lead to poor connections, overheating, and even power failures. The inspection will determine if the meter base needs cleaning, sealing with anti-corrosion compounds, or complete replacement to ensure a safe and reliable connection from the utility to your home.

We stock specific solutions for these local problems. For surge protection, we carry a range of panel-mounted surge protective devices (SPDs) and point-of-use protectors from trusted brands. To combat meter corrosion, we have corrosion-resistant meter enclosures, dielectric grease, and sealing kits. Our staff can help you select the right materials to not only fix current issues but also build more resilient installations for your Meridian clients.
