Simmons Electric - Amarillo's Certified Electrical Repair

Absolutely. Overheating at the electrical meter is a serious fire risk common in Amarillo due to aging infrastructure and high demand. Our detailed electrical inspection specifically checks for loose connections, corrosion, and undersized wiring at the meter base and service panel—the primary causes of overheating. By identifying and correcting these issues proactively, we help prevent dangerous overheating and ensure your home's main electrical connection is safe and up to code.

Frequent AFCI trips in Amarillo homes are often caused by older wiring with minor insulation damage, shared neutrals, or appliances with motors (like vacuums or power tools) creating 'normal' arcs that the sensitive breaker detects. Our inspection isolates the circuit to pinpoint the exact cause. The fix may involve repairing a specific wire, separating circuits, or in some cases, installing an updated, more compatible AFCI breaker. We resolve the nuisance trips so your safety devices work properly without interrupting your daily life.

Our inspection is tailored for local concerns. We thoroughly examine your service entry (meter and mast), main panel, and branch circuits for signs of overheating, improper wiring, and AFCI compatibility. We check for correct grounding—vital in our Texas soil—and test GFCIs. The goal is to provide a clear, written assessment of any immediate hazards (like a hot meter) and potential future issues, giving you peace of mind and a prioritized plan for any necessary repairs to enhance safety.
