Absolutely. Our thorough electrical inspections check for vulnerabilities that severe weather can exploit, such as outdated wiring, improper grounding, or overloaded circuits that could fail during a storm.

An overheating outlet is a serious fire hazard and requires immediate attention. First, stop using that outlet and switch off the corresponding circuit at your breaker panel. Then, contact R and S Electric Services right away. Our electricians can perform a targeted inspection to diagnose the cause—often faulty wiring, a loose connection, or circuit overload—and make the necessary repairs to restore safety to your San Antonio home.

We recommend a professional electrical inspection every 3-5 years for older homes, or before buying/selling a property. Given our local climate with frequent severe storms, which can strain systems, an inspection is also wise after any major weather event that causes flickering lights or outages. Regular inspections help catch small issues, like wear that could lead to overheated outlets, before they become major hazards or leave you in the dark.
