Common Electric Repairs

Addressing electrical repairs in your home is crucial for ensuring safety, as faulty wiring or malfunctioning outlets can lead to fire hazards and electrical shocks. Timely repairs also help maintain energy efficiency, reducing electricity waste and keeping your utility bills in check. According to a 2022 report from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), electrical failures or lighting equipment were a leading cause of home fire property damage, causing more than 30,000 fires, with electrical wiring and cable insulation accounting for over 5% of all the home fires.

Faulty or Flickering Lights
If the lights are flickering regularly, it is probably a sign that the light itself is going bad or had faulty wiring. We can inspect the light and diagnose the problem.

Circuit Breaker Issues
If you find yourself resetting tripped breakers, it could mean that one of your circuit breakers is damaged. If this is the case, it's important to have a certified electrician turn off the power to your home and install a new breaker.

Faulty Outlets or Switches
As expert electricians, we can fix non-functioning or sparking outlets or switches. If you notice sparks when trying to plug an appliance into an outlet, stop using the outlet immediately and call an electrician to prevent fire hazards. 

Power Surges
The Texas heat can cause power surges hit your home. This can damage appliances or electric devices. We can install surge protectors to keep your equipment safe.  

Electric Panel Upgrades
As homes age and technology advances, we place more electrical demand on our homes than they were originally built for. We can upgrade your electric panel for a more efficient electrical system that offers everything you need to operate your home how you want to.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Repair in Austin

1How do I know if I need electrical repairs?
Signs include flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, burning smells, sparking outlets, or buzzing sounds. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional electrician.
2Can I do electrical repairs myself?
While some minor tasks like changing a light bulb are safe to do on your own, most electrical repairs require a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. Honest Plumbing & Air has a company license and a master electrician license to ensure your electrical repairs are done accurately and safely.
3What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
A tripped breaker usually indicates an overloaded circuit or a short. Unplug unnecessary devices and reset the breaker. If the problem persists, call an electrician for further inspection.
4Is it really necessary to update my home's wiring?
Homes older than 30 years may need a wiring inspection and possible updates. If you experience frequent electrical issues or are planning a major renovation, it's wise to upgrade your wiring.
5What is a GFCI outlet, and why do I need one?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects against electrical shocks in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens. It cuts off power if it detects a ground fault. GFCI outlets are required by code in certain areas of the home.
6How long does an electrical repair typically take?
The time varies based on the complexity of the job. Simple repairs like replacing outlets may take an hour, while more involved projects like rewiring or panel upgrades can take several hours or even a couple of days.
