In previous blogs, we have discussed the signs that your home is in need of an electrical upgrade. The signs include having a circuit breaker that trips frequently, dimming lights whenever you power on an appliance, if your electrical panel feels hot to the touch, if your home is 15+ years old, and many more.
So what are the best electrical upgrades for your home? Let’s start by discussing your electrical outlets. Go through the list of 2’s and see how many apply to your home.
Two Prong Outlets: If your home has the old school 2 prong outlets, you are living in the past. These outlets cannot accommodate many modern electronics. Everything from laptop chargers to refrigerators require the 3 prong outlets in order to be used. Additionally, two prong outlets may be a sign that your electrical system is not fully grounded which can be dangerous for your home.
Too Few Outlets: If your family has grown, or your home is over 15 years old, your need for more electrical power has probably grown with you. Adding additional outlets throughout your home will help to eliminate the need for pesky extension cords and outlet extenders. This also will help to prevent circuit overloads, protecting your home and your family.
Too Loose: If you notice that your plugs are easily dislodged from your electrical outlets this is a problem! Your outlets should grip the end of the plugs and hold it firmly in place. If this is not happening, it is an indication that the clip intended to hold the plug may be worn out. This unfortunately is dangerous and a fire hazard.
Outside of electrical outlet changes, let’s explore some of the best electrical upgrades for your home:
More Power: If your home has an outdated panel, you may be experiencing limitations on how much electrical power your home is able to use. With an increase in powerful modern day appliances being used in out homes, an electric upgrade is recommended in order to safely power outdated homes.
Electrical Wiring: Older homes will need to have their electrical wire updated in order to safely power your home and accommodate your electrical needs. Old wiring can be dangerous and lead to house fires.

Are you in the Greater Houston area and are in need of an electrician? If so Texas Electrical is here to provide you with top notch residential electrical repairs! Below are a list of signs that your home is in need of an electrical repair!
Your Outlet Are Overloaded
If you have multiple outlets in your home that are overloaded with extenders, you are straining your home’s electrical power. Long term overloading of your electrical system’s capacity cannot be sustained. You are putting your home at risk by doing this. The solution is installing additional circuits with duplex receptacles in order to keep your home safe.
Frequently Tripping The Circuit-Breaker
If your circuit-breaker trips often, or you have a fuse blow out regularly, this is a sign that your circuits are drawing more current than they can provide you safely. It also could be an indication that one or more of your circuits has a dangerous faulty.
Your Lights Dim
Whenever you turn on your vacuum do your lights dim, flicker, or wane? If so your home’s electrical system is in need of an electrical upgrade. Do not continue using these motor-driven appliances until you get a dedicated circuit wired. Speak to an electrician at Texas Electrical today, to put these problems in the past.
Two Prong Outlets
If your home is full of dual pronged outlets you are living in the past. Most large electronics such as washers, dryers, even computers, require a 3 prong outlet in order to operate. Additionally, not only are you limiting your electrical capabilities, you are also potentially sitting with an electrical system that is so old it not fully grounded, making it dangerous for your home. Do not put yourself in danger with outdated outlets, call us instead!
Warm Plugs
Have you ever unplugged an electronic and realized your plug was warm, maybe even hot? You may be asking too much out of your outlets, overworking them and putting your home at risk. It is important to have old homes electrical systems checked frequently or replaced with a modern safe wiring system.

If the home you live in still has the original electrical wiring it was built with and is over 15 years old, it may be worth looking into upgrading your electrical capacity.

These days everyone is concerned about preserving their safety with security, and rightfully so! In a city like Houston with such a large population crime is unavoidable. There are several options for protecting your home and business that most of us are familiar with, such as hiring a security guard, installing a security system, installing cameras and more. However, there is another effective option that is much more affordable than paying monthly bills for a security system, or installing and monitoring expensive camera equipment. Installing security lighting on your property just might be option you have been searching for!
Below are a list of reasons why security lighting may benefit your home or business:
Motion Sensors: Security lighting that is set up with motion sensors will immediately detect any type of movement that is occuring on your property. It will immediately cast a bright spotlight on who or what has wandered onto your property. This will detract criminals and those with less than savory intentions on your property because they will be exposed and unable to rely on the shadows of night to conceal their identity.
Lighted Pathways: If you choose motion sensors or continuous lights that stay on once the sun goes down, this will mean lit pathways for you. Meaning, you will be protected as you walk into your home at night, or around your property at night. Illuminating your property will make it a less attractive place for those looking to be stealthy and cause harm to you or your property.
Inexpensive: One of the greatest benefits to security lighting is it is much less expensive than other security measures. You will only have to pay to install the lighting fixtures, supply it with electricity, and replace bulbs as they burn out.
Pairs Well With Other Security Options: Security lighting is an excellent pairing to any security measure you already have in place. Whether it is a commercial property with a security guard or a camera, the security lighting will help strengthen your protection.
