Briar Forest Electricians

Briar Forest, the High-Powered Electricians at John Moore are at Your Service

Residing between Gessner, Westheimer, Dairy Ashford, and Buffalo Bayou, over 40,000 Houstonians call Briar Forest home. Electricity is a powerful force, connecting lights, electronics, appliances, electrical panels, and power lines throughout the community of Briar Forest. Speaking of electrical panels, a handful of the many single-family Briar Forest homes built before the 70s are at risk of dangerous panel failures that can lead to house fires.

If your Briar Forest home was built before 1970 and you have no recollection of replacing its original electrical panel, it’s time for an inspection to make sure your panel and other electrical wiring components are up to the current safety code. A good place to find out what you’re working with is to check the model of your panel against the forsaken, outdated models listed at ismypanelsafe.com.

The John Moore Professionals Provide Whole-Home Rewires for Outdated Electrical Systems in Briar Forest Homes

There are a few high-profile offenders in many older electrical wiring systems. These outdated wiring systems include the unstable knob-and-tube wiring, the 2-prong system with grounding problems, or any non-copper wiring material like aluminum that overheats and can cause home fires. Brittle rubber or old paper insulation fail miserably at containing the heat your electrical circuits generate. All of these wiring methods compromise safety and reduce energy efficiency in your Briar Forest home. You’re up against high electric bills, power outages, sparks, and fires when using dated wires. New homeowners take caution as well, as pests can also interfere with a home’s wiring system.

If your electrical wiring is old, or if you’re seeing the warning signs of a problem like power outages, non-functioning switches, sparking, arcing, or dead outlets, it’s most likely time for a rewire. At John Moore, our whole-home rewires equip your house with full-fledged electrical grounding, proper copper wires, PVC wire sleeve insulation, arc fault protectors and GFCIs to make sure you’re safe and saving energy.

Electrical problems are not to be taken lightly, especially with old electrical systems that pose a real hazard to homeowners. Extinguish a future fire with a whole-home rewire!
