Q&A
As a Galveston homeowner, I'm concerned about my electrical meter or outlets feeling hot. What should I do?
Overheating meters or outlets are a serious safety concern, especially in our coastal climate where corrosion can accelerate issues. This is a common local problem we address. You should immediately reduce the load on that circuit and call for service. Our technicians are trained to diagnose the root cause, which is often faulty connections, corrosion, or outdated wiring unable to handle modern demands. We repair or replace the components to NEC and local code standards, ensuring your home's electrical system operates safely and efficiently.
What does your home automation service include, and is it something I can add to my existing Galveston home?
Absolutely. We specialize in integrating home automation into existing homes throughout Galveston. Our services include installing and repairing smart lighting, automated component controls (like fans or outlets), and whole-home system automation for security, climate, and entertainment. We start with a free consultation to understand your goals, then design a system that works with your home's current electrical layout. Our certified technicians ensure all installations are safe, reliable, and user-friendly, bringing modern convenience to your home without compromising on electrical safety.
Do you offer free estimates, and what can I expect during an electrical inspection?
Yes, we provide free, detailed estimates for all projects. An electrical inspection with Christensen Electric is a thorough process. Our licensed technician will assess your system's overall safety and capacity, check for compliance with current NEC and Galveston codes, identify any potential hazards (like the overheating issues we sometimes see locally), and evaluate your needs for repairs, updates, or new installations like lighting or generators. We then provide a clear, written estimate explaining the necessary work, so you can make an informed decision with complete transparency.
