FAQs

My outlets are warm to the touch. Is this a serious issue in Brownsville homes, and what can Handy Electric do?

Yes, overheated outlets are a serious safety hazard common in older Brownsville homes, often caused by outdated wiring or overloaded circuits. Handy Electric will perform a safety inspection to diagnose the root cause. We typically repair or replace the faulty outlet and, if needed, upgrade the circuit breaker or wiring to handle your home's electrical demands safely, preventing potential fire risks.

My generator isn't powering my home during an outage. Could it be a transfer switch problem, and can you fix it?

Absolutely. A malfunctioning generator transfer switch is a frequent issue here, especially after storm seasons. Handy Electric specializes in electric panel and transfer switch installation and repair. We'll inspect the switch, your panel, and the connections to ensure everything is properly installed and functioning, so your generator reliably powers your essential circuits when you need it most.

I'm adding new appliances. Do I need a circuit breaker or panel upgrade to prevent problems?

In many Brownsville homes, older electrical panels can't handle modern appliance loads, leading to tripped breakers and overheating. Handy Electric can assess your current panel's capacity and recommend a solution. This may involve installing new dedicated circuits, upgrading specific breakers, or a full panel replacement to ensure safe, sufficient power for your new appliances and overall home safety.
