Alvin's Breaker Panel Experts

Your home’s breaker panel (also referred to as a distribution panel or electrical panel) divides and distributes electricity to all of the outlets, lights, and appliances in your home. Depending on your home’s design, your distribution panel may be located in your attic, garage, a closet, or in some cases on an exterior wall of your home. We recommend having your electrical panel inspected before moving into a home and before making any major renovations, especially if they involve installing new light fixtures, outlets, or large appliances. It’s recommended that homeowners have their breaker panel inspected every few years to ensure that there are no short fuses or damage from pests that could lead to an electrical fire.

If you live in an older Alvin home built before 1970 with the original electrical system in place, you should make sure that your home doesn’t have an outdated or recalled panel. Older electrical panels don’t always turn off in the case of a power surge, which could lead to sparks or fires from the high levels of electricity being permitted through your home’s electrical system. Finally, if you notice breakers on your panel won’t reset; circuits that constantly short or trip; or outlets, lights, and appliances that don’t work, then you may have faulty components within your electrical panel. Whatever the case, John Moore’s licensed and insured electricians are ready to inspect and solve any and all of your breaker panel issues so that you can enjoy your home’s electricity worry free.

Rewiring services in Alvin, Texas

Your electrical wiring system carries electricity from your distribution panel to the lights, appliances, and outlets around your home. If your home is relatively new (built after 1990) your electrical wires are most likely made of copper and are insulated with a durable, PVC plastic that prevents them from coming into contact with other wires, conductive materials, or flammable building materials within your wall. The use of this safer PVC does not, however, mean that your wiring is safe from being tampered by pests or rodents, which could lead to exposed wires or wires that have been completely chewed through. If you notice flickering lights or light switches that don’t work, you may have faulty wires. If we do find evidence that mice or rats have chewed through your electrical wire insulation, we will refer our pest control specialists to take care of them so that the same problem does not persist.

If your home was built before 1990, your electrical wires may have an outdated type of plastic insulation that is prone to disintegrating, especially in the flux of Houston heat. Additionally, it’s likely that your wires would be made of aluminum with a rubber protective coating. These older wiring systems are known to overheat, especially when used to power or charge modern electronics and appliances. If you live in an older home, we suggest you have your wiring system inspected and upgraded by a licensed electrician to prevent the chance of electrical fires. If you have two-prong, ungrounded outlets in your, you should have your wiring and electrical system upgraded to a newer, safer, more efficient system as soon as possible.
