Is Your House Prepared for Holiday Lighting?

Anyone who has seen National Lampoons Christmas Vacation remembers the scene where Griswold plugs in the holiday lights to show his hard work off to the neighbors. While the inevitable catastrophe may be entertaining to watch on the big screen, having a similar situation in real life is no laughing matter. Overloading your electrical system with thousands of twinkling lights and jumbo animatronic snowmen is not a good idea.

Schedule an Annual Electrical Inspection Before the Holiday Season

Having an annual inspection is a good idea, regardless of what time you choose to schedule it. Having frequent inspections can alert you to problems that would otherwise go unnoticed. If you are a proactive homeowner that prefers to stay on task when it comes to property maintenance, you might consider planning to get your electrical inspection before the holidays arrive. A licensed and insured electrician will be able to pinpoint any areas of potential danger, and will be able to update and repair any weaknesses in your system.

You’ll go into the holiday season with confidence that you can have the best decorated home on the block, without endangering your loved ones.

The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.

Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!

Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!

Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!

Have Your Outlets and Wiring Been Upgraded Properly?

The number one cause of winter time electrical fires is overloaded circuitry and outdated wires. If you’re homes electrical system is ungrounded or hasn’t been updated in over a decade, you might want to get professional help before you plug in that giant Rudolph. Many people assume that all they need for protection is a cheap outlet strip from the store. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. If your circuit experiences a surge, it could not only cause a fire or electrocution, but it can also severely damage expensive electronics throughout the home. Call Mr. Electric to schedule your next circuit repair or wiring update in Fort Worth or the surrounding DFW area.

Consider Switching to LED Lights

One way to reduce the chances of overloading circuits this winter is to update your decorations to LEDs. While you might be tempted to save cash during the busiest shopping season of the year, getting the right kind of holiday lighting is a worthwhile investment. If you can’t replace everything, start with one or two items, and gradually replace your decorations over the years. Not only will it help protect your home’s electrical grid from being overwhelmed, but it could also significantly reduce January’s utility bills.
