Herick Electric power: Experienced Electrical Company Serving Austin 78753

Yes, Austin's storms can cause power surges that fry sensitive electronics and appliances. Herick Electric Power helps by installing whole-house surge protectors at your main electrical panel and ensuring your grounding system is up to code. We can also inspect and upgrade your circuit breakers to ensure they trip correctly during a surge, providing the first line of defense for your home.

Many older Austin homes have panels not rated for the sustained high demand of an EV charger, risking overloads and fire hazards. Before installation, our electricians perform a thorough load calculation and inspection. We often recommend and install upgraded electrical panels or dedicated circuits to safely support your new charger, ensuring reliable, code-compliant power for your vehicle.

Flickering lights often signal an overloaded circuit, faulty wiring, or a loose connection—common issues in aging Austin homes. This is a safety concern that should be addressed promptly. Herick Electric Power can diagnose the root cause, which may involve repairing or replacing outdated wiring, installing additional circuits, or upgrading your electrical panel to distribute power safely and eliminate the hazard.
