Signs include flickering lights, outlets that don't work, or a burning smell. Rodents, common in our area, often target attic and wall wiring. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our team can safely access these areas, identify any chewed or damaged wires, and perform the necessary repairs or new wire installation to prevent fire hazards.

Yes, damaged underground cables are a frequent issue in Temple due to soil shifts and landscaping. We start with a diagnostic inspection to locate the break. The repair involves carefully excavating the area, splicing the cable with waterproof connectors, or often, we recommend a complete new wire installation for a lasting fix, ensuring your outdoor lighting and power are safely restored.

Absolutely. While a new circuit breaker panel or repair won't fix damaged wires itself, it's a critical safety upgrade. Modern panels with AFCI/GFCI breakers are much better at detecting the arc faults and irregularities caused by compromised wiring—like from rodents or underground damage—and will trip to cut power, preventing potential electrical fires. We can assess your current system and recommend the right panel installation or upgrade for your home's protection.
