Why Exterior Service & Meter Base Inspections Matter

What Is the Exterior Service?
The exterior service is where electricity enters your home from BC Hydro. It includes parts like the masthead, service cable, and strain reliefs that protect your system from weather and damage.
The meter base holds your electrical meter and connects your home to the utility supply.
Why This Inspection Is So Important
Because these components are outdoors, they’re exposed to rain, wind, and corrosion all year long. Over time, this can lead to:
Rust and corrosion
Loose or damaged connections
Improperly secured cables
Safety risks and power issues
This is why understanding what a residential electrician does goes beyond indoor wiring. Exterior checks are just as critical.
