Universal Refrigeration & Electric - McAllen's Top-Rated Electricians

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are safety devices that trip when they detect dangerous electrical arcing, which can cause fires. In older McAllen homes, common culprits include worn wiring, loose connections, or appliances with damaged cords. Our comprehensive electrical inspection meticulously checks your circuits, outlets, and wiring to locate the source of the arc fault. We then provide a clear explanation and a safe, code-compliant repair to prevent nuisance trips and protect your home.

Absolutely. A non-working or unstable ceiling fan in the Rio Grande Valley heat is often due to electrical problems like a faulty wall switch, loose wire connections in the ceiling box, or an incorrect installation that doesn't support the fan's weight. Our electrical inspection for ceiling fans checks the wiring integrity, verifies proper grounding, and ensures the junction box is fan-rated. We fix the wiring issue and securely mount the fan, restoring comfort and safety to your room.

Our thorough inspection is like a health check-up for your home's electrical system. Our licensed electrician will examine your main service panel (checking for overloads and proper breaker function), test outlets for correct wiring and grounding, inspect visible wiring in attics or crawl spaces, and assess major appliances and fixtures. We provide a detailed report of any safety hazards, code violations, or inefficiencies—like those causing breaker trips—and offer prioritized recommendations to ensure your McAllen home is electrically sound.
