"Turned out that only a few plugs were bad and needed to be switched out and the rest of the plugs on the circuit begin to work . He explained what he was doing and showed me the problem and how to correct on my own if happens again. Will definitely be hiring again in the future for any electrical needs ."

"This was a fairly large and expensive piece of necessary home maintenance. My home is now 25 years old, and I am the original owner. My main circuit breaker had been "acting up" recently; that is, it randomly failed (opened) as the day proceeded and the temperature rose. It is housed along with all of my other circuit breakers in my main breaker box, which is directly exposed to the early afternoon sun in the late spring and early fall months. Concerned, I did a bit of research online to discover my box likely had reached end-of-life. I called 2 contractors for estimates, and chose West Houston Electric to replace the box. In addition, my original ground rod was disconnected from my home's main grounding lead, which West Houston found when they inspected my box to give me a bid. I was told the original rod was likely galvanized metal provided by the builder, and that it had likely deteriorated significantly over the 25-year life of my house. They also suggested a "whole home" surge protector to minimize the effect of voltage surges that occur, the tech said, on a daily basis. These surges, it was claimed, have a deteriorating effect on any electric devices in my house, especially on "high tech" equipment that utilized chip technology. Both bidding contractors made this claim. I must say I haven't experienced any failures in chip-based technologies in my home. But, my AC compressor, when it comes on, comes on "hard." It must draw a lot of amperage when it cycles on, and it will do so often in the summer months. (I have a "start switch" on it to minimize the abruptness of its operation, but I often wonder what it draws as it is a very loud start.) I chose West Houston Electric to do the work because their competitor found almost $6,000 worth of work to do. To their credit, the tech broke that down to "must haves," "should haves," and "nice to haves." Even so, their bid for the "must haves," the work West Houston performed, was higher. The tech was on time for the scheduled work and seemed quite knowledgeable and likable. The owner had spoken to me on the phone, and came by twice during the work to check on progress. This is a relatively long procedure, by the way. It takes about 4-5 hours start to finish, and your power will be out most of that time. The tech found one more issue that seemed prudent to address regarding a GIF breaker for my pool pump, The competing contractor had suggested that as well. Though the risk is low that a pump failure might cause electricity to flow into my pool, it was the sort of risk that entailed mortality on the down side--that circuit is 220v. It the pump failed, and it caused current to flow into the pool, and anyone was in it, it would be "curtains." If this were to occur, I could not live with myself having chosen to take the risk instead of spending about $400. So, I conceded to add the additional protection. The work proceeded well. The tech and I struck up a good conversation about lawn maintenance, a favorite chore of mine (and his), and it finished up pretty much as we expected. West Houston did a fine job for me. I will use them again as there are always a few more things to be done in a house as old as mine. ("Old" is such an odd description of a house that is 25 years old; but that is Houston for you.)"

"Yesterday Miguel and Maro did an outstanding job installing a 75 lb elaborate chandelier in our dining room. They had to hang it from a 14 foot tray ceiling and upgrade/ reinforce the mount inside the attic. Weâ ve utilized Enoch deviously for a number of AC, water heater, and lighting projects. We highly recommend them for anything and all similar home projects. Wendy and John"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Hawaii is currently rated as the most expensive state for utilities. How much are utilities for a house in Hawaii? With electricity costs in Hawaii totaling nearly 42 cents per kilowatt-hour, residents are paying more to run their households than any other residents. Electricity costs in Hawaii are so high, mostly due to the fact that most of the electricity available to residents is produced using oil that must be shipped in from other places.

Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.

Window AC units use a fair amount of electricity, but significantly less than central AC systems. Because they are more energy-efficient for cooling individual rooms or small spaces, their usage is comparatively low. On average, a window AC unit consumes between 500 and 1,400 watts, while a central AC system uses over 3,500 watts—meaning a window unit uses about one-third of the energy. This typically translates to a monthly running cost of $15 to $40, although this can vary depending on external factors.

Burnt outlets can be caused by things such as faulty wiring, loose connections, or a circuit overload—and yes, they are extremely dangerous. If you notice your outlet is hot or has burn marks, you should shut off the power to it from the circuit breaker and immediately call an electrician.

Yes, the National Electrical Code reviews household codes every three years. However, that doesn’t always mean that kitchen counter outlet requirements will change, but it does allow room for professionals to make updates. That’s why many older kitchens are no longer code-compliant thanks to changing rules for amperage, GFCI protection, and more.
