Breaker Panel Inspections & Repairs for Galena Park Homes

Your home’s breaker panel, which is also sometimes referred to as a distribution panel or circuit breaker, is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It distributes all of the electricity that enters your home via your electrical provider to the various outlets, lights, and appliance around your house. Your breaker panel also provides a critical safety function: shutting off power to areas in the home if they are drawing unsafe amounts of electricity.

For homes built before the 1990s, it is highly recommended that you have an annual breaker panel inspection. To avoid costly repairs and potentially dangerous electrical mishaps, we recommend that homeowners learn what kind of electrical panel they have, and arrange for a replacement if their model is outdated.

Signs that your panel could be outdated or malfunctioning may be innocuous at first, but non-functioning outlets or rooms that lose power could be signs of potential electrical danger. John Moore’s licensed and insured electricians can inspect for these issues and many more to ensure your home’s electrical system is safe and sound. We can also install or replace grounding rods for added safety and security in the event of a lightning storm.

Rewiring Out-of-Date & Faulty Electrical Systems

If your electrical panel serves as the heart of your electrical system, then the electrical wires that run behind the walls of your homes serve as the veins. Copper wires with PVC insulation have become standard in homes built after 1990. Copper is able to conduct electricity with enough electrical resistance to prevent the wire from overheating, while PVC insulation remains intact over long periods of time in both hot and cold conditions.

Many older homes in Galena Park have outdated wiring system, which could include knob-and-tube wiring, brittle insulation, or non-copper wires. Pests and rodents can also interfere with a home’s wiring system. These wiring methods and scourges can lead to higher electric bills, outages, and in some cases, sparks and fires if they come into contact with another conductive surface, such as another wire.

If you are experiencing outages, flickering lights, or switches and plugs that don’t work, call John Moore to prevent a potentially dangerous problem.
