Fresno Electrical Services

Fresno is a community that, like the rest of the Houston area, has gone through booms and busts over time. Much of the community was built over the last 15 years, but with many more older Fresno homes built before the 1990s – some dating as far back as the 1920s – many homes still utilize outdated electrical systems. Not only are these older wiring methods and breaker panels unsafe to use when powering modern appliance, but also, as you can imagine, a lot can happen to your wires, distribution panel, and other parts of your electrical system in that amount of time.

When it comes to anything dealing with power and electricity, you don’t want to take risks. Older wires and electrical panel failure can lead to house fires if not addressed appropriately and in a timely manner. If you have lights that flicker, outlets that aren’t working as they should, or breaker circuits that won’t reset, you may have something amiss with your wiring or electrical panel. Because of the dangers associated with electrical repair work, you should always rely on a licensed, insured electrician who knows how to safely inspect and repair components of your electrical system.

IMPORTANT: If you have smoke or fire in your home caused by your electrical system, call your electrical company right away and tell them to temporarily shut off your home’s electricity. Call 9-1-1 or the Fresno Fire Department at (281) 431-2451 to extinguish any fires before calling John Moore.

Also commonly referred to as a distribution panel, breaker box, or electrical panel, your home’s breaker panel is the central component of your entire electrical system. It distributes power throughout your home and provides a safeguard, shutting down electricity to areas that are drawing dangerous amounts of electricity. This feature, known as the “breaker” function, is designed to prevent explosions and fires resulting from power surges. If your home is over thirty years old, you may have an electrical panel that lacks this feature or the features that protect your home against overcurrents and short circuits.

If you live in an older home, you should check your breaker panel to ensure that it hasn’t been recalled. By having your electrical panel inspected every three to five years, you can avoid potential malfunctions. In addition, if you’re thinking of adding new appliances, you should have a licensed electrician inspect your breaker panel to avoid any electrical surges and fires due to the new appliance overpowering your panel. With our team of licensed, insured electricians, John Moore can consult you on an electrical panel replacement and best practices when it comes to your electrical system.
