24-Hour Emergency Electricians in DallasThe key to extending the longevity of your electrical system is proper maintenance. While occasional issues will likely arise over the years, staying on top of the condition of your electrical system will encourage long time effectiveness and efficiency. At Mr. Electric of Fort Worth, we help local North Texas home and business owners find ways to keep their wiring, circuits and other electrical components in great shape, and we want to help you achieve the same results. Successful maintenance often requires the use of some basic, inexpensive tools. Here is a short list of some of the most important tools for homeowners to have on hand for routine electrical issues.
Voltage Tester
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!
This device helps electricians and homeowners alike detect the presence of electricity. This can be helpful when you’re struggling with a failing outlet, or for knowing when electrical power has been restored following an outage. Keep in mind, that when working with electricity in any capacity, you run the risk of electrocution. A voltage tester can help you determine if the power has been properly shut off before installing a new electrical fixture, changing a fuse or another common maintenance task.
Wire Stripper
A wire stripper is another handy tool that homeowners might need when working with new installations or basic repairs. This device will take the rubber coating off easily, without damaging the delicate metal wires inside.
We provide reliable, professional electrical services backed by licensed electricians and upfront pricing. Our team is committed to safety, quality workmanship, and on-time service for every job. With trusted local expertise and customer-first care, we deliver solutions you can count on.
Screwdrivers
You probably already have several screwdrivers lying around the house. These tools are also valuable when performing electricity related tasks, like switching out outlet covers and switch plates, or replacing fixtures. Make sure you have several different varieties available, as the hardware may vary depending on the manufacturers of your products.
Pliers
Pliers are also another commonly used tool that performs double duty for electrical maintenance. Pliers make it easy to twist and cut wires for different needs. Keep a few different types on hand, including reaming pliers, side-cutting pliers and needle-nose pliers for versatility.
Flashlight
When dealing with electricity problems, there’s a good chance you might have the electricity turned off. Whether you’ve shut the power off yourself for safety while working, or you’re dealing with an outage issue, flashlights can give you the right amount of light needed to carry out your goals without losing visibility.
Insulated Gloves
Again, working with electricity yourself can be very dangerous. Complex repairs, replacements and new installations should always be performed by a certified electrician with appropriate training. However, for personal checkups or basic household tasks, a pair of insulated gloves can add an extra layer of protection.
