Electricians in Hudson Oaks, TX

Some electrical problems hit you like a lightning bolt, while others creep in slowly until one day, you realize something’s not right.

Here’s when you need to call us before things get out of hand:

1. Lights keep flickering: A loose wire, an overloaded circuit, or a failing panel could be behind the flicker. We’ll track it down.
2. Outlets spark when plugging something in: Sparks mean danger. That heat inside the wall can start a fire if ignored.
3. Burning smell from outlets or breaker box: If you smell melting plastic or burning wires, shut the power off and call us immediately.
4. Buzzing or humming sounds near outlets or switches: Electricity should never make noise. That buzz means something’s loose or failing.
5. Breakers trip constantly: When a breaker keeps tripping, the circuit draws too much power, or something is shorting out.
6. Power out in part of the house: If half of your home has no power while the other half works fine, you likely have a bigger issue hiding inside the service panel or wiring.
7. Extension cords everywhere: If you’re daisy-chaining extension cords to keep everything plugged in, your home needs more outlets and circuits.
8. Panels older than 25 years: Older electrical panels can’t handle today’s power demands and often fail without much warning.
9. Adding major appliances or home upgrades: EV chargers, new HVAC units, and home additions often require new circuits or panel upgrades to handle the added load.
10. Small shocks when touching appliances or switches: That little zap means a grounding or wiring issue needs immediate attention.

The sooner you call, the smaller—and cheaper—the fix usually is.
