Alanfielding Electric - Tyler's Local Electrical Contractor

This is a very common issue in our area, especially in older homes. Your central AC unit draws a significant amount of power, particularly during our hot Texas summers. If your home's electrical panel is outdated or wasn't originally sized for modern AC demands, it can lead to overloaded circuits. An Alanfielding electrical inspection can pinpoint if your panel is overheating or underpowered, and we'll recommend solutions like a panel upgrade to safely handle the load.

Our local inspections focus heavily on panel health, which is critical given our climate. We check for signs of overheating, such as discoloration or a burning smell, loose connections that can cause arcing, and verify the panel's amperage rating is sufficient for your home's current and future needs. We also assess the wiring integrity to and from the panel, ensuring everything is up to current safety codes to prevent the overloads and fire risks common with aging systems.

Absolutely. Proactive inspections are one of the best defenses. An overloaded or overheating panel is a major fire risk. Our inspection will identify if your AC circuit is improperly sized, if there's corrosion or damage from heat and humidity, or if the breakers themselves are faulty and not tripping as designed. By catching these issues early, we can perform necessary repairs or upgrades—like installing an AFCI/GFCI breaker or a new panel—dramatically increasing your home's safety and giving you peace of mind all summer long.
