Electrical Panels, Breakers and Fuses

The electrical system in your home or business is equipped with circuit breakers or fuses—also known as electrical panels—that protect the wires in each circuit and prevent the system from overloading. An incorrectly wired or older electrical panel not only poses the threat of electrical shock, but it could also result in an electrical fire.

Common factors that may indicate issues with your electrical panels include:

• Flickering or dimming lights even after changing bulbs
• Constantly tripping breakers
• Blown fuses
• Circuit surges
• Crackling or buzzing sounds coming from the electrical panel
• Discolored electrical panel
• The smell of overheated wires coming from the electrical panel
• Issues with recently installed appliances, electronics, or systems
• Visible rust on the electrical panel

Your Safety Is Our Priority

For your safety and peace-of-mind, the electrical panels and breakers that we use at Tarrant Electric are premium grade, and carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty. Our team of experienced professionals has the skills and experience required to successfully perform a complicated task such as an electrical panel repair or upgrade.

Generators

Benefits of Having a Generator
A generator immediately turns on when you lose power, allowing you to keep your home or building and all its occupants safe and comfortable.
Depending on your needs, a backup generator may offer the following benefits:

• Food preservation – If the power is out for four or more hours, the food in your fridge will turn bad. With a generator, your fridge stays on, so you won’t have to worry about spoiling food.
• Overall comfort – Power outage usually occurs during extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, and can leave you without heat. A generator can help power your heater for hours.
• Flood prevention – If heavy rains were the cause of the power outage, there is a chance of flooding as well. A backup generator can make sure your sump pump has the power to prevent that.
• Safety and peace of mind – A backup generator keeps your lighting on, so you won’t have to worry about looting or opportunists entering your commercial or residential property.

Remodeling and Renovations

When you’re remodeling your residential or commercial property, you may need to add electrical circuits or move existing lighting fixtures. Although you may be able to do the job on your own, we don’t recommend it. Working with electricity is dangerous stuff, so it’s best you leave it to the professionals. Our team at Tarrant Electric can turn the power off, ensure the wiring is done correctly, and do the job effectively so that your time isn’t wasted. In fact, as soon as you decide to go ahead with the renovations on your property, we strongly recommend that you consult with our experts.

Remodeling and renovation projects would almost always require the expertise of a professional electrician. Especially in older homes, it’s rare not to find something odd with the electrical system.

Consult with our team at Tarrant Electric for any renovation or remodeling job. We ensure:

• Electrical wiring and connections that meet industry standards and safety codes
• Faster and more efficient service, especially when you’re under a deadline
• On-budget completion of the project
• Quality materials and workmanship

Upgrading Your Electrical System

Most professionals will tell you to get your electrical system refurbished once every 10 years. Not maintaining your system can result in a short circuit, power leakage, or even an electrical fire. A renovation allows you to upgrade your electrical system to accommodate all the new appliances you have brought inside your home.

If you’re ready to get started with remodeling and renovation, contact us for a free consultation and estimate.

Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Every home and business need smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors. Even if your property runs on all electricity, there is always the danger that carbon monoxide could seep into your home or office from an outside source like the garage or a backup generator. Our experienced professionals can explain the dangers of smoke and carbon dioxide and give you advice on the products you may need. Your safety will always come first at our company. Allow us to give you the peace of mind you deserve.
