Montana weather doesn't mess around. Wind storms out here can do a number on outdoor electrical equipment - and when a service pedestal takes a direct hit, it's not just an inconvenience. It's a safety issue that needs to be handled the right way, fast.
That's exactly what we were dealing with on this one. A Bozeman customer had their service pedestal damaged by wind, and the equipment was no longer functioning safely. Left unaddressed, a compromised pedestal can lead to bigger problems - exposed wiring, electrical faults, or worse. We got out there and got it sorted.
We installed a new Schneider Electric service pedestal, which is a solid, reliable piece of equipment built to hold up in outdoor conditions. Getting this right matters. The pedestal is the point where utility power meets your property's electrical system, so the installation has to be clean, code-compliant, and secure. No shortcuts.
Storm damage has a way of revealing how important it is to have a licensed electrician you can actually call. Not every electrical issue gives you a warning. Some of them - like a storm-battered service pedestal - just show up and demand immediate attention. We're glad we could get this customer back up and running without cutting corners on the work.
If your service equipment took a hit from a recent storm, don't sit on it. Outdoor electrical damage tends to get worse, not better, and the safety risks are real. Core Electric is here for Bozeman and the surrounding Montana area when you need licensed, reliable electrical work done right.
