Electricians in McKinney, TX – When Your House Tries to Zap You
You know what’s terrifying? Flipping a light switch and hearing a loud pop followed by the smell of burning plastic.
Or plugging in your phone charger and watching actual sparks fly. Or walking into your kitchen and everything’s dark except the microwave clock blinking “12:00” like it’s having an existential crisis.
That’s your electrical system telling you it’s had enough.

We’ve seen outlets that were basically fire hazards waiting to happen. We’ve replaced electrical panels that were older than some of our customers. We’ve fixed DIY wiring jobs that looked like someone’s toddler did it with Play-Doh.
Your house shouldn’t be trying to kill you every time you flip a switch.

When to Call an Electrician in McKinney
Most electrical disasters don’t just happen out of nowhere. Your house usually gives you warning signs first. Problem is, most people ignore them until something dramatic happens.
Like the lights going out during dinner. Or worse.
- Breakers that keep throwing tantrums: One trip? Fine. Resetting the same breaker every other day? Not fine.
- Lights that flicker like a horror movie: If your house looks like a haunted attraction, something’s loose or overloaded.
- Outlets hot enough to fry an egg: If your outlets feel warm or smell like burnt toast, turn off the power and call us right now.
- Electrical noises: Buzzing, humming, crackling. Electricity should be silent. If it’s making noise, it’s making problems.
- Power surges that kill your stuff: If your electronics keep dying for no reason, you’ve got surge problems.
- Lights with commitment issues: Randomly going out and coming back on. That’s not character. That’s bad wiring.
- Electrical panel older than your marriage: If your panel was installed before 1990, it’s probably time for retirement.
- Adding new appliances: New HVAC or fancy kitchen range? Your old wiring might not be able to handle it.
- Extension cord city: If your house looks like an octopus of power strips, you need more outlets.
- No GFCI outlets near water: Kitchens and bathrooms without GFCI outlets? That’s a shock waiting to happen.

A Real Story from Last Year
Family called us after half their house lost power. They thought it was a neighborhood issue. Nope.
Their electrical panel had a corroded bus bar and one of the breakers had literally melted. That weird smell they’d been noticing? Yeah, that was their electrical panel slowly cooking itself.
We replaced the damaged parts, upgraded the whole panel, and had everything running safely again in one afternoon.
Now they call us for any electrical weirdness. And they sleep better knowing their house isn’t trying to burn itself down.

McKinney Electrician FAQs
Why does my breaker trip when I use the microwave and toaster together?
They’re probably on the same circuit and your electrical system can’t handle both at once. We can fix that.
My light switch feels hot. Is that bad?
Very bad. Hot switches mean too much current or loose wires. Both can start fires.
Do I really need those special outlets in the bathroom?
GFCI outlets? Absolutely. They keep you from getting electrocuted when you’re wet. Kind of important.
Can I replace a light fixture myself?
Maybe. But if the wiring looks sketchy or you’re not sure what goes where, call us. Better safe than dead.
How long do electrical panels last?
About 25 to 40 years. If yours is older or making weird noises, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
