An overheated outlet is a serious fire hazard and should be addressed immediately. First, stop using that outlet and switch off the corresponding breaker at your electrical panel. This often indicates faulty wiring, a loose connection, or an overloaded circuit. Ortiz Electrical Service can diagnose the root cause, which may involve wire repair, outlet replacement, or an upgrade to your circuit breaker or panel to handle your home's electrical load safely.

A GFCI outlet that won't reset is likely protecting you from a ground fault—a potential shock hazard, especially in wet areas. It could be caused by a faulty appliance, moisture intrusion, or worn-out wiring. Our electricians will safely troubleshoot the issue, checking for downstream faults and performing any necessary outlet repair or wire repair. We ensure your GFCI protection is fully functional, which is crucial for Houston's humid climate and a key part of a thorough electrical inspection.
