Your home’s exterior electrical service and meter base are the gateway to safe, reliable power. Over time, weather, wear, and loose connections can compromise your system, leading to safety hazards and power interruptions.

As part of our 20-Point Electrical Safety Inspection, Wicks Electric provides a thorough Exterior Service and Meter Base Check to keep your home safe and compliant.

What We Inspect

Our skilled and licensed electricians will:
