"Ed Riley is extremely knowledgeable about what causes lighting and how to protect from it. He explained to me which and how structures develop static electricity that lead to lighting discharges in a way that the physics made sense to me. They were also reasonably priced and kept their word. Definitely recommend them."

"We were extremely pleased with Corrigan and sons on the work they did installing a lightning rod protection system on our home. They did the work themselves and started and completed the job in a timely and professional manner. Hard working people, and without hesitation, we would highly recommend them."

"Marty Jr. provided terrific service throughout the process. The install happened in less than a day, and looks great on the property. I have a great understanding of what I purchased, and how it will make my property safer in a lightning storm. The cost was the best in comparison with a few others, and the turn around time was fast to the system installed. Highly recommended."

"Texas Green Energy did a great job installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage for an EV Charging Station. After receiving several quotes from local companies I decided on Texas Green Energy and I’m so glad I did. Tommy and his crew came out quickly to give me an initial quote. Along with the quote he did a great job explaining the different options and walking me through exactly what the work would entail. After reviewing all the quotes I received, I decided to go with Texas Green Energy for several reasons. First, they have some really good reviews online and a friend of mine used them, to instal solar panels on his house, and highly recommended them. Second, they were very professional and did a great job communicating with me from the initial request for a quote all the way through the projects completion. Lastly, I felt very comfortable trusting that they would do things the right way. One example of that was on the day of the install Tommy, the project manager, told me he had forgot to include something in the original quote. I thought to myself, “oh boy he’s going to jack up the price on me.” To my surprise he told me that the price he quoted would be the price I would pay. I really appreciated that a handshake and a man’s word was something he really took to heart. On the day of the actual installation they showed up on time and everything went smoothly. The outlet works and looks great and if you didn’t know any better you’d think it had always been there. Before leaving they cleaned up, showed me which breaker in my electrical panel controlled it, and made sure I didn’t have any questions before they left. If you have an EV and want a level 2 charger installed, either hardwired or plug-in, then this is company to call."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Multiple wire sizes are used for residential electrical purposes. While the most common sizes used in homes are 14 and 12 gauge, some appliances, such as stoves, electric water heaters, central air units, etc., may use larger gauge wire to accommodate their larger amperage. Typically, larger appliances require 10-, 8-, or 6-gauge wires.

Unless you’re a licensed electrician with extensive experience in upgrading electric panels, you must hire a professional for any electrical work. A licensed electrician will make sure your breaker is upgraded safely and in compliance with local codes. Your pro will also take care of any permits and inspections that are needed.

Aluminum wiring can pose a significant fire risk because it tends to expand, contract, and overheat, leading to failing connections and splices. If your home has aluminum wiring, it doesn't always require a complete replacement, but you must take safety precautions. The first step is to hire a licensed electrician to conduct a thorough inspection. Based on their findings, you have several options:

  • Full Replacement: The safest but most expensive solution is to replace all aluminum wiring with copper.

  • Copper Pigtailing: A more budget-friendly option, suitable for certain homes, involves adding a short section of copper wire to the end of each aluminum wire at connection points.

  • Other Safety Upgrades: Your electrician may also recommend installing aluminum-compatible outlets and applying an anti-oxidant paste to connections to prevent corrosion.

Consulting a professional will help you determine the best course of action to ensure your home's wiring meets current safety standards.

Switching the hot and neutral wires in an outlet or receptacle, a condition known as reverse polarity, is dangerous. While the outlet will still function and provide power, it creates a significant electrical shock hazard because anything plugged into it will remain electrified even when switched off. If you touch a conductive part of the appliance, such as the metal components of a toaster, you could receive an electric shock.

A standard three-prong electrical outlet typically lasts for about 15 years with normal use and should be replaced accordingly. GFCI outlets may have a longer lifespan of 15 to 25 years. While some outlets can last longer if used infrequently, they can also fail prematurely. Reasons for early failure include poor wiring, an overloaded circuit, improper grounding or installation, or loose plugs. Signs that an outlet is failing include flickering lights, overheating, a discolored or melted faceplate, plugs that fall out easily, or frequently tripping circuit breakers. It is essential to address faulty outlets promptly to avoid safety hazards, especially in homes older than 15 years.
