Sundown Electric - Scarborough's Reliable Electricians

Our detailed inspection includes checking all outdoor outlets for proper weatherproof covers and GFCI protection, which are crucial in our climate. We assess for existing moisture damage and seal any gaps that could let in water. This preventative step helps ensure your outdoor outlets won't short out or become hazardous after a freeze-thaw cycle, a common issue here in Maine.

Scarborough's salty, humid air can accelerate corrosion on your electrical meter and its connections. This corrosion can lead to poor connections, overheating, and even power interruptions. During our inspection, we carefully examine the meter base for signs of rust or degradation and can recommend cleaning, sealing, or replacement to maintain a safe and reliable connection to Central Maine Power's grid.

Beyond standard safety checks, we pay close attention to elements uniquely affected by our local environment. This includes inspecting for corrosion on service panels and grounding rods due to soil conditions, verifying the integrity of wiring in unconditioned spaces like garages or barns that experience wide temperature swings, and ensuring all exterior electrical components are properly rated and sealed against Maine's coastal weather.
