Electrical Company Wichita Falls TX | Call B&W Electric

First, check if the outage is widespread by looking at neighbors' homes or contacting your utility provider. If it's isolated to your house, inspect your circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers. A single tripped breaker affecting one area might indicate an overloaded circuit. However, if your main breaker trips or multiple breakers keep tripping, it could signal a more serious issue like a short circuit, damaged wiring from the storm, or a failing panel. In these cases, especially common after severe weather, it's safest to call B&W Electric. We can safely diagnose and repair the problem, whether it's a faulty breaker, panel issue, or storm-damaged wiring, restoring your power reliably.

It could be either. Sometimes a non-working fan is due to a loose wire connection in its canopy or a faulty pull-chain switch, which are generally straightforward repairs. Significant wobbling is often caused by unbalanced blades or a loose mounting bracket. However, if the fan is connected to a wall switch that also doesn't work, or if you've noticed flickering lights on the same circuit, there may be a deeper wiring issue in your ceiling box or circuit. Given the age of many homes in our area, original wiring can degrade. B&W Electric's technicians can quickly diagnose the root cause, safely handle any wiring repairs, and ensure your fan is installed or repaired correctly for safe, long-lasting operation.

Installing a standby generator is a significant upgrade that ensures essential power during outages. The process involves placing the generator unit, connecting it to a fuel source (like natural gas or propane), and installing a critical component called a transfer switch. This switch safely isolates your home from the utility grid and connects it to the generator. Whether you need a panel upgrade depends on your home's current electrical capacity and the generator's size. Our experts at B&W Electric will perform a full assessment of your existing panel and electrical load. We handle the entire installation, including any necessary panel upgrades or repairs, ensuring the system is compliant with local codes and operates safely to protect your home and family.
