Yes, flickering lights are a common sign of lightning surge damage, which is frequent in our Austin area. Surges can weaken or damage your electrical panel, outlets, and wiring. Mervin's Electric Services provides thorough electrical inspections to assess the damage. We then perform necessary repairs to your panel, circuits, and wiring, and can install whole-home surge protectors to prevent future issues from our powerful Texas storms.

Attic short circuits are a common problem in Austin homes, often due to aging insulation or rodents. Mervin's offers expert wire repair and replacement to safely resolve existing faults. To prevent future problems, we can install new, high-grade wiring with proper protection and conduct a comprehensive electrical inspection of your attic space to identify and correct any other potential hazards before they cause a short.

An outdated or damaged electrical panel is a major risk factor for both short circuits and surge damage. Upgrading to a modern panel with Mervin's Electric Services provides increased capacity for today's energy needs and includes better built-in safety features. This upgrade, often combined with a surge protector installation, creates a robust first line of defense for your entire home's electrical system, significantly reducing the risk of failure from local issues like attic heat or lightning strikes.
