Question Answers
My outdoor outlet is hot to the touch. Is this a common Houston problem and how can RW Electric fix it?
Yes, Houston's heat and humidity can accelerate wear on outdoor outlets, leading to dangerous heat buildup and corrosion. This is a serious fire and shock hazard. RW Electric will safely inspect the outlet and wiring, often finding damaged components or inadequate weatherproofing. We repair or replace the outlet with a high-quality, weather-resistant GFCI model designed for our climate, ensuring your outdoor power is safe and reliable.
Can a faulty electric panel cause my meter to overheat?
Absolutely. An outdated, damaged, or overloaded electrical panel is a leading cause of meter overheating in Houston homes. As we add more appliances and devices, old panels can't handle the demand, creating excessive heat at the main connection point. RW Electric specializes in panel inspection, repair, and full replacement. Upgrading to a modern panel with proper capacity not only resolves the overheating issue but also enhances safety and prepares your home for future electrical needs.
How can installing a generator help prevent electrical problems during Houston's storm season?
Houston storms often cause power surges and outages that can damage sensitive electronics and appliances, compounding existing electrical issues. A professionally installed standby generator by RW Electric provides stable, automatic backup power. This prevents the damaging effects of sudden power loss and erratic restoration, protecting your home's electrical system. It also ensures safety by keeping critical systems like sump pumps and security lighting operational during severe weather.
