Electrical Panel Inspection, Repairs, and Replacements in Memorial

Your home’s electrical panel— also commonly referred to as a breaker panel or distribution panel— divides all the electricity that comes into your home and distributes it to your various appliances, lights, and outlets. Two critical functions of your electrical panel are grounding any excess energy that enters into your system, and turning off power to any areas in your home that are drawing unsafe amounts of electricity. If you live in a home built before the 1990s that uses its original distribution panel, you may want to check to make sure that it hasn’t been discontinued or recalled. Some older electrical panel models fail to shut off power in the case of a power surge, potentially leading to explosions or fires. If your electrical panel is outdated, call a licensed electrician as soon as possible to have it replaced with a new, safe electrical panel.

It is recommended to have your electrical panel inspected every few years and before remodeling your home or adding any new appliances. Sometimes, circuits in an electrical panel can malfunction, leading to a circuit that won’t reset after it trips. If this happens, you should call a licensed electrician to replace the burnt circuit with a new one. Because of the high levels of electricity that your electrical panel handles, you should never attempt to replace any components by yourself unless you are a qualified electrician or else you may electrocute yourself.

Rewiring Memorial Homes to be Safer and More Efficient

Your home’s electrical wires are like the veins of your electrical system, carrying electricity to the various lights, outlets, and appliances throughout your home. Modern electrical wires are made of copper and insulated with PVC plastic. The copper wire is conductive, but also provides just enough electrical resistance to ensure that your wires don’t overheat. The PVC plastic prevents the wire inside from creating sparks by coming into contact with another wire or conductive surface. Older homes built before the 70s may have a wiring system that relies on aluminum, which is known to overheat, melt its insulation, and sometime start fires inside the walls of homes. Likewise, wiring systems built before the 90s utilized a different kind of plastic insulation that is known to brittle over time, especially in Memorial’s summer heat. If you live in an older home with its original wiring system still intact, you may want to call John Moore for a wiring inspection to ensure that your system is safe.

If you notice flickering lights, outlets that don’t work, or smell smoke or hear a buzzing sound coming from behind your walls, you may have an issue with your electrical wires. Rodents are known to chew through wires and their insulation, which could lead to lights not working or— in extreme cases— spark a fire from within your walls. If we notice that your home has rodents in addition to wiring malfunctions, we will refer our pest control team to rid your home of any rodents so that the same problem doesn’t happen again.
