Electrical Services Houston TX | Call Piquete Cable

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes testing your home's grounding system to ensure it safely directs excess electricity into the earth. We check for proper connections at the main panel, grounding rods, and all outlets. In Houston's soil conditions, grounding systems can degrade over time, posing a serious shock risk. We identify any faults and provide clear recommendations to bring your system up to code, protecting your family and electronics.

Absolutely. An overheating meter is a critical warning sign of an overloaded circuit, loose connections, or faulty equipment, all of which can lead to fire hazards. During our inspection, we assess the meter base, main service panel, and overall electrical load to pinpoint the exact cause. We'll determine if the issue is due to outdated wiring, increased energy demands from Houston's heat, or a problem with the meter itself, and advise on the safest solution.

Common local signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights (especially during AC use), outlets that are warm or discolored, a burning smell from the electrical panel, or your meter running unusually fast. Given Houston's older neighborhoods and high humidity affecting wiring, proactive inspections are wise. We recommend an inspection before buying an older home, after major renovations, or if you're adding high-demand appliances to prevent safety issues.
