An overload occurs whenever you have too many electronics using a particular circuit at once. There are multiple circuits in your home, some of these run multiple lighting fixtures as well as outlets. An overloaded circuit cannot keep up with the electrical demand you have and will shut off, sometimes leading to damages- other times just requiring a manual flip of the breaker. .
This time of the year families often experience issues with the circuits in their homes becoming overloaded. For example, families may experience the circuit in their kitchen being tripped because they having multiple appliances running at once, such as crock pots, dishwashers, ovens, coffee makers, and more. This electrical usage can add up quickly into an issue for your home’s electrical system.
If there are not enough outlets in the spaces you need them, you may be tempted to buy power strips, extension cords or multi-tap outlets. This can be problematic because the demand for electricity may be greater than what the circuit was designed to carry, and you may lose power. This is a safety feature that prevents the electrical overload from causing a fire but does not always prevent one from occuring.
Now let’s talk about those tips for avoiding circuit overload.
Inspect Your Wiring: Check all cords of any electronic plugged in to electrical outlets. Make sure there are no cracks leading to exposed wire. Extension cords and multi-tap outlets should only be used temporarily solutions and cannot run major appliances such as dishwashers, refrigerators, dishwashers, etc.
Know Your Wattage: Dimming lights while using your microwave or the vacuum cleaner, may mean your overloading your circuits. It is a good to have a general idea of how much power each appliance uses and what your home can handle.
Avoid Clutter: Whenever you are not using an appliance or electronic, unplug it if you are experiencing issues with dimming lights or tripped circuits. Space out your appliances if possible so they aren’t all running off of one outlet.

The holiday season is upon us, with Thanksgiving on Thursday and Christmas is just around the corner! It’s a wonderful time of year for decorating, hosting, and cooking with friends and family! Staying safe when it comes to your electrical wiring and needs, will keep the holidays bright for you, your family, and friends. As you enjoy these holidays, please take some time to review our electrical safety tips and take care to avoid potential hazards.
Inspect Electrical Decorations Before Plugging In: If any of your decorations are damaged, loose, or have exposed wires, they have the potential to cause a serious problem and may be a fire hazard. Cracked or damaged sockets, with loose connections may cause a serious shock and are also considered dangerous. Texas Electrical can help provide maintenance to the electrical outlets in your home to ensure your safety this holiday season.
Avoid Overloading Electrical Outlets: One of the most common reasons for holiday electrical fires are overloaded electrical outlets and faulty wires. To avoid overloading your home’s electrical outlets, plug only one high-wattage into each outlet at a time. If you have to use
Keep Christmas Trees Fresh: Dry trees can become a serious fire hazard in your home. Minimize your risks by watering your tree daily, to ensure it stays hydrated and fresh through the season. Artificial trees have less risks and may be a better solution for families looking to cut down on electrical hazards this season.
Protect Electrical Cords: To avoid shock or fire hazards, cords should never be pinched by furniture, forced into small spaces such as doors and windows, placed under rugs, located near heat sources, or attached by nails or staples.
Don’t Leave Kitchen While Cooking: Unattended cooking equipment is the leading cause of home cooking fires in the country. Play it safe this holiday season, while cooking food for your family and friends make sure you are watching your food closely and never leaving anything unattended. This is a major way you can help reduce your risk of having a house fire.
Don’t Run Decorations Around The Clock: Turn off, unplug, and extinguish all decorations when going to sleep or leaving the house. Unattended candles are the cause of one in five home candle fires. Also, consider using artificial, battery operated candles in order to avoid fire hazards.

Your commercial business and residential home’s electrical system is much different than the other systems that run to keep you in function. While it is true that most people can handle around the house projects like tearing out carpet and your stronger weekend warriors can handle bigger projects like installing new appliances in their home. However, when it comes to taking on electrical projects, it is not recommended, even to the most experienced DIYers to take on these tasks. This is because projects dealing with your business or home’s electrical system can be extremely dangerous for more reasons than just one. This is because you are dealing with high currents of electricity, and with one wrong move you can cause a fire hazard that has the potential to hurt people and destroy your property.
Your business and home are extremely important aspects of your life, so when it comes to such a big project, who can you really trust to safely handle your home’s electrical system?
In our country, each state has their own standard for issuing electricians with state licenses. These specific standards make it so that each licensed electrician must first go through training, have hands on experience, and pass standardized testing given from their state.
State electrician licensing is so important to our communities because safety standards are forever changing to accommodate our new technologies and special needs. If you think about the electronics you used in your home ten years ago, compared to the electronics we use today, you can see how much things have changed. Whenever an electrician is licensed, they are required to do continued education courses in order to maintain their licensing. This keeps your home and business safe as technologies change and our needs evolve.
At the end of the day, working with a licensed and insured electrical company, such as Texas Electrical ensures you are getting quality electrical services provided to your home and business. Do not risk your safety or the safety of your property, contact us for all of your electrical needs.
