Reynolds Electric - Glendive's Professional Electrical Services

A thorough electrical inspection by Reynolds Electric specifically checks for vulnerabilities that Montana winters exploit. We examine exterior mastheads, service entry cables, and connections for wear or improper securing that could lead to snow-load damage or ice damming. Identifying and reinforcing these points proactively can prevent costly outages and hazardous situations during our heavy snowfall seasons.

In Glendive's climate, moisture is a primary culprit. Melting snow tracked indoors, humidity in garages, or condensation can seep into outlets, causing GFCIs to trip as a safety measure. This is a common local issue. An inspection can determine if the trip is due to necessary moisture protection or if there's a wiring fault, loose connection, or an aging outlet that needs replacement to restore safe, reliable power.

First, visually check where the power line connects to your house for any sagging, damage, or ice accumulation. Inside, be aware of flickering lights, outlets that don't work, or frequently tripping breakers—these can indicate strain or damage. Don't handle downed lines. If you notice any of these signs, contact Reynolds Electric for a safety inspection. We'll check for compromised fittings, water intrusion, and ensure your system hasn't been compromised by the storm's weight or moisture.
