Simon's Electric | Experienced Electrical Company in Alice, TX

Absolutely. Many homes in Alice have older electrical panels not designed for the sustained load of an EV charger. Our inspection checks your panel's capacity, wiring condition, and dedicated circuit setup. We'll identify if an overload is likely and recommend solutions—like a panel upgrade or dedicated circuit installation—to ensure safe, reliable charging without tripping breakers or creating a fire risk.

Yes, warm or hot outlets are a common and serious warning sign we encounter in Alice homes. It often indicates loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or a failing outlet, all of which are fire hazards. Do not use that outlet. Contact us immediately for an inspection. We'll safely diagnose the root cause, whether it's in that single outlet or part of a larger circuit issue, and make the necessary repairs to protect your home.

Older homes in our area often have wiring that can't handle today's appliance loads, leading to the overloads and overheating we frequently fix. Our inspection acts as a preventative health check for your entire electrical system. We assess wiring integrity, grounding, circuit loads, and panel safety. This proactive approach uncovers hidden risks—like outdated aluminum wiring or double-tapped breakers—specific to our region's housing stock, allowing us to make upgrades before an emergency occurs.
