SmithLudwig Electric - Austin's Reliable Electrical Services

Our electrical inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of your home's electrical system.

This service is crucial for identifying potential hazards, planning renovations, or simply ensuring your family's safety.

Absolutely. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), required in newer Austin homes, are sensitive safety devices that can trip due to minor, harmless spikes or specific appliance use. Our electricians are skilled at diagnosing the cause—whether it's a wiring issue, a faulty appliance, or simply the need for a dedicated circuit. We can pinpoint the problem and implement a reliable solution to prevent nuisance trips while maintaining your home's safety.

Meter overheating, often caused by high demand from air conditioning units straining older service panels, is a common issue in our climate. If you notice a hot meter or burning smells, it's a sign to act. We recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our team can evaluate your home's electrical load, check for loose connections at the meter base (a frequent cause of heat), and recommend upgrades, such as a panel replacement, to ensure safe and efficient operation throughout the Texas summer.
