Frequently Asked Questions

How can an electrical inspection from Dotson Tom Electric help prevent GFCI outlet failures in my Cleburne home?

Our thorough electrical inspections specifically check for GFCI outlets, which are crucial for safety in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. We test their function, verify they are installed in code-required locations, and ensure they are properly wired to trip in the event of a ground fault. Many failures are due to age, moisture (common in our climate), or faulty installation. An inspection identifies weak or non-functioning GFCIs so we can replace them, preventing potential shock hazards and ensuring your home meets current safety standards.

My Cleburne home was hit by a recent lightning storm. What should an electrical inspection look for regarding surge damage?

After a lightning storm, our inspection focuses on your home's vulnerable points. We check your main electrical panel for signs of arcing or damage, test all major appliances and HVAC systems for internal surge damage you might not see, and verify the integrity of your home's wiring. We also inspect your whole-house surge protector, if installed, or highly recommend installing one. North Texas sees intense electrical storms, and this proactive inspection can identify hidden damage that could lead to future failures or fire risks.

Why are GFCI outlets around my Cleburne home constantly tripping, and can Dotson Tom Electric provide a permanent fix?

Frequent tripping in Cleburne is often due to moisture intrusion from our humid climate or an underlying fault in the circuit or an appliance. It's a safety feature, but a nuisance. Our electricians don't just reset the outlet; we diagnose the root cause. We check for moisture in outlet boxes, test wiring for ground faults, and isolate if a specific appliance is the trigger. The solution might be repairing faulty wiring, relocating an outlet away from a moisture source, or replacing a worn-out GFCI. We provide a lasting repair to restore safe, reliable power.
