FAQs
After a storm caused a power outage, my lights are now flickering. What could be wrong, and how can Ashorn Electric help?
Flickering lights after a storm often indicate damage to your electrical system, such as a compromised circuit breaker, loose wiring connections, or a damaged electrical panel. Our team at Ashorn Electric will perform a thorough electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact cause. We then provide expert repairs, whether it's fixing the wiring, replacing a faulty breaker, or upgrading your electrical panel to ensure your Brenham home is safe and protected against future weather events.
My home's circuit breaker trips frequently during storms. Should I just keep resetting it, or is a repair needed?
Frequent tripping, especially during storms, is a safety feature warning of an overload or a fault, but it shouldn't be ignored. Continuously resetting a breaker can lead to damage and fire hazards. At Ashorn Electric, we recommend an inspection. We can repair or replace the faulty breaker and assess if your entire panel needs an upgrade to better handle Brenham's severe weather, preventing inconvenient outages and protecting your home's electrical system.
How can upgrading my electrical panel in Brenham help prevent storm-related power issues inside my home?
An outdated or undersized electrical panel is a common weak point during Texas storms. Upgrading to a modern, properly sized panel with Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) enhances safety by quickly shutting off power in dangerous conditions. This upgrade, combined with our expert circuit breaker installation, creates a more resilient system. It helps prevent internal outages and protects your appliances and wiring from surge damage, giving you greater peace of mind during Brenham's severe weather seasons.
