Q&A

After a lightning strike or power surge in McAllen, should I get an electrical inspection even if everything seems to work?

Absolutely. Hidden damage from surges can weaken wiring and components, creating a serious fire hazard. An Alvarez Electric inspection can identify compromised circuits, outlets, or your breaker panel that need repair before they fail, protecting your home and appliances from future issues.

What's the best way to protect my McAllen home's appliances from the frequent power surges in our area?

We recommend a whole-house surge protector installed directly at your main electrical panel by a licensed electrician. This is your first line of defense, absorbing large surges before they enter your home. For added protection, we can also install point-of-use protectors for sensitive electronics and repair or upgrade any existing vulnerable wiring.

A recent surge damaged my kitchen light fixture. Can you repair it, or is a full replacement needed?

We'll diagnose the issue to see if it's the fixture itself or the wiring behind it. Often, surge damage requires fixture replacement, but we can also repair the underlying electrical connections. Our team handles both light fixture repair and safe, code-compliant installation of new, surge-resistant lighting options suited for our local climate.
