Electrical Services in Meadows Place, TX

Whether you live in an older home, renovated home, or newer home, it’s important to always keep an eye on your electrical system. Outdated electrical system components found in older homes can potentially put your home and family in danger of house fires, electrocutions, and explosions. You should have your electrical system inspected every few years to ensure that it’s up-to-code before adding new appliances so that they do not overload your system. While a dead outlet or a flickering light fixture may seem like a minor electrical problem, there’s a possibility of a larger problem brewing behind your walls like exposed wires or a malfunctioning breaker panel.

Now, if you have a newer home in Meadows Place, you should still have an electrical inspection performed every three to five years. Sometimes John Moore get calls for electrical problems that are caused by faulty electrical installations or wire damage from pests that have chewed through wires. When in doubt, have your electrical system checked out.

IMPORTANT: If you notice fire, smoke, or wires sparking in any area of your electrical system, call your electrical company ASAP and ask them to turn off your home’s electricity. Call the nearest Fire Department in Meadows Place to extinguish any fires before calling John Moore.

Your home’s electrical panel, also known as a distribution panel or breaker box, is the centerpoint of your home’s electrical system. It distributes electricity from the power grid to all of the light fixtures and outlets throughout your home. One of the key features of a breaker panel is its ability to detect when there’s too much electricity being pulled by an appliance or outlet. If a power surge or overcurrent is detected by your home’s breaker panel, it will shut power off to that area of the home. Amazing, right? Well, it’s amazing for newer homes with electrical panels that have this feature. If you live in an older home built before 1980, your electrical panel might not have this safeguard. In addition to safety features that may be missing, older panels are prone to faulty fuses or circuits that won’t reset.
