Electrical Contractor Houston TX | Call Armortex Electric

We frequently address two specific issues in the Houston area. The first is outdoor outlet heat damage, caused by our intense sun and humidity, which we resolve by inspecting for corrosion, replacing damaged components with weather-resistant GFCI outlets, and ensuring proper sealing. The second is flickering lights, which often signals a deeper problem like faulty wiring, a loose connection, or an overloaded circuit. Our electricians perform thorough voltage loss checks and troubleshooting to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's at the fixture, switch, or within your home's wiring—and perform the necessary repair to ensure safety and consistent power.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection in several key situations: if your home is over 20 years old, if you're planning a major renovation or addition, before purchasing a home, or if you're experiencing recurring issues like frequent breaker trips or flickering lights. Our comprehensive inspection checks your breaker box, wiring integrity, GFCI/AFCI protection, outdoor fixtures, and overall system load. This proactive service helps identify potential hazards like outdated components or voltage loss, ensuring your system meets current safety codes and can reliably support your household's electrical demands.

Upgrading a breaker box, or meter can, is a detailed process we perform to increase your home's electrical capacity and safety. We assess your current and future power needs, safely disconnect the old panel, and install a new, properly rated panel with modern AFCI/GFCI breakers that help prevent electrical fires and shocks. For surge protection, we typically install a whole-house surge protector at your main electrical panel. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting massive voltage spikes from lightning or grid fluctuations away from your home's wiring and sensitive electronics, offering far more protection than standard power strips alone.
