FAQs
Can a new circuit breaker or panel help prevent outages during Houston storms?
Yes. Severe storms often cause power surges that trip older, overloaded breakers. Our circuit breaker installation and electric panel upgrade services provide modern, higher-capacity protection. A new panel with properly sized breakers can handle sudden electrical loads more effectively, reducing the chance of a full-house outage and protecting your appliances from surge damage common during Houston thunderstorms.
Why do my outdoor outlets keep failing, and how can Watts Electrical fix it?
Houston's heat and humidity are tough on outdoor electrical components. Standard outlets can overheat, corrode, or short-circuit. We repair damaged outdoor outlets and wire installations with weather-resistant (WR) and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) models specifically designed for our climate. For a lasting solution, we can install new, properly rated outdoor outlets and fixtures that are sealed against moisture to prevent heat-related damage and ensure safety.
What should I check after a storm causes an electrical issue in my home?
First, check your main electrical panel for tripped breakers. If resetting them doesn't restore power, or if you notice flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or a burning smell, avoid the risk and call us immediately. Our electric inspection service is crucial post-storm to identify hidden damage like compromised wiring or a faulty panel that could lead to a fire hazard. We'll diagnose the problem, whether it's a repair for a specific circuit or a full panel assessment, to get your Houston home safely back online.
