🌧️❄️ Rain & Snow Reminder: Keep Outdoor Electrical Panels Closed
With wet weather and snow season approaching, now is a good time to make sure your outdoor electrical panel is properly closed and secured.
This week, Electrified Solutions responded to a service call where an outdoor electrical panel door had been left open. Rainwater was able to enter the panel and reach the breakers, resulting in damaged AFCI breakers and electrical circuits that would no longer reset.
Outdoor electrical equipment is designed to withstand the weather when it is properly closed and secured. An open or damaged panel cover can allow rain, melting snow, and moisture to reach electrical components.
A few things to check around your home:
• Make sure outdoor electrical panel doors are completely closed and latched
• Check for damaged, loose, or warped covers
• Never leave an outdoor panel open after resetting a breaker • If you notice water or moisture inside a panel, avoid operating the breakers and have it inspected by a licensed electrician.
A quick check now can help prevent electrical problems as we head into Colorado’s colder, wetter months. ⚡
