Electrical Services in The Heights

With many older and newly renovated homes, it’s especially important to make sure that your electrical system is working as it should if you live in the Heights. We find that many older heights homes still rely on outdated wiring systems and electrical panels that are more likely to overheat and cause electrical damage or fires in home. If you are considering renovation work in your home, you should have your electrical system inspected to ensure that it’s up-to-code before installing new appliances, or else you could risk overloading your electrical system. Even what could seem like a small electrical malfunction- a flickering light or outlet that doesn’t work- could mean there is a larger problem within your wall like poorly insulated wires that could lead to larger problems in the future.

Notice: If you are currently dealing with a sparking live wire, smoke, or fire caused by your electrical system, immediately call your electrical provider and ask them turn off your home’s electricity. Call the Houston Heights Fire Department at (713) 861-4002 to extinguish any fires before calling John Moore.

Your breaker panel (also sometimes referred to as a distribution panel, electrical panel, or breaker box) is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It distributes all of the electricity that enters your home from the power grid to the appropriate appliance, light fixture, or outlet. Breaker panels can also detect when unsafe amounts of electricity are being pulled from a specific appliance or outlet and shut power off to that area of the home. Older panels may not include this important safety feature, which is why you should check to see if your panel is outdated or has been recalled. If your distribution panel is outdated, you should have it replaced with a new, dafe panel as soon as possible.

As breaker panels age, a multitude of problems may arise. Insects often find their way into electrical panels, where they can short various circuits. Frequent power surges may also lead to a circuit malfunction or even cause a fuse to explode within your breaker box. If you notice that a circuit won’t reset on your breaker panel, or there are black marks on the panel itself, you should have your electrical panel inspected by a licensed electrician who can then make any necessary replacements. Even if you don’t notice any major issues, It’s good practice to have your electrical panel inspected every few years, especially if you plan on adding any new appliances.
