Austin Electric | Poyen Electrician for Outlet Repair & Storm Safety

Yes, loose outlet wiring is a frequent issue we see in Poyen homes, often due to age and settling. Loose connections cause arcing, which creates heat and is a serious fire hazard. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our electricians will safely tighten or replace faulty outlets and wiring to restore safety and prevent potential damage.

While we can't prevent the power company's outages, a modern, properly installed electrical panel is crucial for safety during storms. Older or damaged panels are more susceptible to surges and can fail when power returns. Austin Electric can install or repair your panel, ensuring it has proper surge protection and capacity to handle restorations safely, protecting your appliances and home.

First, check your main electrical panel for any tripped breakers. If power is restored to the neighborhood but not to specific parts of your home, or if you notice flickering lights or buzzing outlets, there may be storm-induced damage. Don't risk it. Call Austin Electric for a thorough inspection and repair. We'll check your wiring, outlets, and panel to ensure everything is safe and functional.
