Common Questions
What does a standard electrical inspection from Erben Electric involve for a New Braunfels home?
Our thorough electrical inspection evaluates your home's entire system for safety and code compliance, which is crucial in our older neighborhoods. We check wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding systems specifically for issues common here, like improper grounding that can affect appliances. The inspection provides a clear report on any needed repairs or upgrades, such as adding surge protection or updating fixtures, giving you confidence in your home's safety.
We're noticing our electrical meter feels hot. Is this a common issue in New Braunfels, and can Erben Electric help?
Yes, an overheating electrical meter is a serious safety concern we see in the area, often due to increased energy demands from older wiring or added appliances. As a licensed electrician serving New Braunfels since 1984, Erben Electric can diagnose the cause, which may involve an overloaded panel or faulty connections. We provide safe repairs or necessary upgrades, like installing a new meter loop or service panel, to resolve the overheating and ensure your home's electrical system operates safely and efficiently.
Can you install a new light fixture in my older home without needing to rewire everything?
In many cases, yes. Our experienced team at Erben Electric frequently works with the unique wiring found in New Braunfels' older homes. For a standard light fixture installation, we assess the existing wiring box and circuit to ensure it can safely support the new fixture. If the wiring is outdated or unsafe, we'll explain the necessary updates, which might be part of a larger remodeling project. Our goal is to provide a safe, functional installation that meets current electrical codes.
