Electrician in Copperas Cove, TX

Electrical Inspection

A home electrical inspection is a thorough review of your home’s entire electrical system. During these inspections, we’ll check: 

• All wiring throughout the home
• Safety switches
• Power boxes
• Lighting
• Smoke detectors
• Potential electrical hazards

We’ll also make sure that your home is up to current safety standards and make recommendations for anything that needs repairs or upgrades. 

You should consider electrical inspections when you buy a new home, suspect your wiring may be older than 25 years, or if you start having electrical issues, such as flickering lights, small shocks, or discolored outlets.

Electrical Repair 

Often, the signs you need electrical repairs are evident, while others may not be so clear. Here are some of the biggest indicators of electrical issues to watch out for: 

Circuit Breaker Tripping Frequently

Each time your circuit breaker trips, it’s protecting your home from potential danger as the circuits become overloaded. If your breaker trips occasionally, it simply means you attempted to draw more power than your fuses and circuit breaker could handle. However, if this is something that happens frequently, it may mean that your electrical panel can’t keep up with your home’s electrical needs. 

Contact the experts at Dr. Watts Electric, Heating and Air to increase your home’s power supply with an electrical panel upgrade. A new device will get your home up and running the way it should be in no time. 

Dimming or Flickering Lights 

Does the room get a little darker each time you use the microwave? Do your lights flash? Dimming or flickering lights are signs of an overloaded circuit breaker. If you notice this problem in your home, call us for help!

Burning Smells

If you detect a burning smell but can’t see where it’s coming from, it’s time to give us a call. That smell is likely coming from behind the walls where you can’t see that faulty wiring has begun to spark. This will initially smell acrid or like burning plastic as it melts away the wiring’s protective coating. The very first whiff of this smell means it’s time to take action to avoid a potential fire. 

Even if you don’t know the exact cause of your electrical problem, our experienced technicians know where to look. Our electrical troubleshooting experts will detect the source of the problem and get it repaired quickly.
