Fernandez Electric - Metairie's Reliable Electrical Repair

Yes, a worn-out or malfunctioning circuit breaker is a common culprit for power surges. These surges can send a sudden spike of voltage through your outlets, damaging sensitive electronics and appliances. Fernandez Electric specializes in circuit breaker and electric panel inspection, repair, and installation to ensure your home's first line of defense against surges is functioning correctly, protecting your valuable equipment.

An overheated outlet is a serious fire hazard and should be addressed immediately. This is often caused by loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing outlet itself. For your safety, we recommend turning off power to that circuit and calling us right away. Our electricians in Metairie will perform a thorough inspection, identify the root cause—whether it's in the outlet, wiring, or panel—and perform the necessary repair or replacement to eliminate the risk.

An outdated or underpowered electrical panel can't handle the demands of modern appliances, leading to frequent tripping, overheating, and increased vulnerability to power surges. Upgrading your panel with Fernandez Electric provides a robust, code-compliant foundation for your home's entire electrical system. This enhances safety, prevents overloads on individual circuits, and offers better protection against the surges that can damage your local appliances.
