Coastline Electric Company: Licensed Electrical Company Serving Houston 77091

The best protection is a multi-layered approach. We recommend a whole-house surge protector installed at your main electrical panel, which acts as a first line of defense against powerful surges from lightning strikes. For added protection, we can also install point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive electronics and ensure your home's grounding system is up to code. This is a critical service for our area to prevent costly damage to appliances and wiring.

It very well could be. A faulty or improperly installed transfer switch is a common reason a standby generator fails to engage. Our electricians specialize in diagnosing and repairing transfer switch problems, ensuring a safe and automatic transition to backup power. We also perform full generator installation and wiring services to guarantee your system is reliable when Houston storms knock out the grid.

First, check your main electrical panel and any GFCI outlets in the affected area, as they may have tripped due to a surge. If resetting them doesn't work, the issue could be deeper, like damaged wiring or a compromised circuit breaker from the electrical surge. Do not repeatedly reset breakers. For safety, contact our Houston electricians immediately. We specialize in post-storm electrical repair, from outlet and wire repair to full panel inspections, to safely restore your power.
