FAQs

What does an electrical inspection from Schammel Electric involve for my Austin home?

Our comprehensive electrical inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home's entire electrical system. Our licensed electricians will check your wiring, panels, outlets, and grounding to ensure everything is up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and operating safely. We pay special attention to common local issues like signs of rodent damage to wiring and the proper function of GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms. You'll receive a detailed report of our findings and clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or updates to keep your home safe.

I'm dealing with a GFCI outlet that keeps tripping in my Austin home. Can you help?

Absolutely. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are crucial for safety, especially in wet areas, and their failure is a common issue we address. Our electricians will first diagnose the root cause, which could be a faulty outlet, a ground fault in an appliance, or moisture intrusion. We'll repair or replace the outlet with a high-quality unit and ensure the circuit is properly grounded. With our extensive experience in both residential and complex commercial systems, we can efficiently resolve the problem and help prevent future nuisance tripping.

Does Schammel Electric only handle large commercial projects, or do you serve local homeowners too?

We are proud to serve our Austin neighbors directly. While our 60+ years of experience includes major projects for schools and municipal facilities, our team of 25 licensed electricians is equally equipped to handle residential electrical needs. Our background in commercial design-build and turnkey projects means we bring a high level of precision, code knowledge, and problem-solving skill to every job, whether it's a home inspection, wiring repair, or updating an electrical panel. You benefit from the same expertise we apply to large-scale installations.
