Your home’s electrical system is much different than the other parts of your home. Most people can handle tearing down wallpaper and your stronger weekend warriors can handle bigger projects like installing new floors in their home. However, when it comes to taking on electrical projects, it is not recommended, even to the most experienced DIYers to take on these tasks. This is because projects dealing with your home’s electrical system can be extremely dangerous for multiple reasons. One is because you are dealing with high currents of electricity, the other is because one wrong move can become a fire hazard that can cost you your property.
So when it comes to such a big project, who can you trust to safely handle your home’s electrical system?
Each state has their own standard for issuing electricians with licenses. These standards make it so that each licensed electrician must go through training, have experience, and pass testing with their state.
Licensing is critical because safety standards are forever evolving to accommodate our new technologies and needs. If you think about the electronics you used in your home ten years ago, compared to the electronics we use today, you can see how much things have changed. Whenever an electrician is licensed, they are required to do continued education courses in order to maintain their licensing.
Whenever you have an electrician work on your home, in order to have your insurance cover any potential, unforeseen damages that may occur during their work, they must be licensed. If you choose to go with an unlicensed electrician, or do it yourself, and the worst happens, you will not be reimbursed for the damages. Meaning, by trying to cut corners you may end up being completely out of a home with no money to recover.
The bottom line is, working with a licensed electrical company, such as Texas Electrical ensures you are having quality electrical services provided to your home. Do not risk your safety or the safety of your home, contact us for all of your electrical needs.

Even if you have lived in several homes and never been faced with an electrical problem, it is still important to have regular electrical checkups. These electrical checkups are designed to ensure your wiring, circuit breakers, outlets, and plugs are all functioning properly and that your home is safe! Electricity is very powerful, so when it comes time to check on your home’s electrical system, leave it to the professionals at Texas Electrical!
Below is an electrical checklist to go over for your home or business:
-If you are experiencing frequent breakers tripping or fuses blowing out on you regularly, this is a sign that you are overloading your home’s electrical system. Whenever you do this you are putting yourself at risk for fire hazards.
-When we perform an inspection we will make sure all of your circuits have been properly grounded. This means for each circuit we make sure the wires that send electrical current to your lights and appliances are connected to a ground wire in your home. This is a huge safety issue and a problem we find in many older homes.
-All outlets in moisture heavy rooms, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms need to have ground-fault circuit interrupters. These make it so your outlet will automatically turn off if wet. Also, a quick tip is if you are cleaning electrical outlets or fixtures, make sure you unplug all appliances and if needed, turn off the breaker.
-These days if you have small children, it is required by code to have tamper-resistant outlets with protectors in them, to keep small children from injuring themselves.
-Any frayed or damaged wires in your home need to be located and replaced, these are potential fire hazards and can be dangerous for electrical shock as well.
-If any outlets are loose or not sturdy, they need to be replaced by a professional to make sure there is not a bigger problem creating this issue.

Hurricane season is here! Meaning at any time we may turn on our televisions and hear about a new storm that is brewing out in the warm gulf waters. This is something that many Houstonians know all too well. After last year’s Hurricane Harvey fiasco, many of us have seen just how much damage and devastation a hurricane can leave behind. This year, instead of having to sit out the storm in your home with no electricity and eat unprepared foods straight out the can, prepare your home or business with a backup power generator!
At Texas Electrical, we are the experts when it comes to installing power generators for your home or business. We start by selecting the right size generator for your unique needs and space. Then we connect your home’s electrical panel to the generator. We do this to make it so that when your home loses electricity, your generator automatically powers on, supplying you with electricity. This will be an automatic transfer switch that will last until your home regains electricity. Once your home regains electricity, your generator will automatically shut itself back off until you are in need of it again. Most of these types of generators run on either diesel, natural gas, or liquid propane. They have a very simple design that will require almost no involvement from to utilize properly.
This hurricane season, do not spend your time stuck inside eating room temperature food out of cans and bags. Instead, contact Texas Electrical and find out more about power generators. Having a power generator installed gives you the option to supply your home with enough electricity to run your fridge, some of your appliances, phone chargers, and more! Imagine how much more comfortable you will be, being able to use your cell phone, while drinking cool beverages, and hot food!
