Breaker Box Services

If you find that your fuses are tripping, of your lights are flickering, or if you sense a funny smell, then you might have a problem with your breaker box. The breaker box is where all of your electricity flows through on its way to power your home. It will start to malfunction over time. If you have an old house with the original 100 amp box, then it may not be enough to power your home. Those boxes were installed in times before mobile phones and tablets. You may need a 150 or 200 amp box to power your home. The experts at Baker Brothers in North Richland Hills will evaluate your panel to see if it needs repair or replacing.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters

In rooms such as the kitchen and bathroom, electricity coming into contact with water is a real concern. That is why GFCI outlets are designed to protect against the dangers. They will cut off power if they sense the current is going somewhere it shouldn’t, such as through water. Make sure to test them every month, since an unreliable GFCI outlet is no use to anyone. After it is activated, you will need to reset the outlet again. At Baker Brothers, our electricians can install GFCI outlets that will keep you and your family safe when using electricity around water.

Landscape and Exterior Lighting Installation

We all want our homes to have great curb appeal at all times, and not just when we are selling.

With your input and needs in mind, a specialist at Baker Brothers will design the perfect landscape lighting system for you and your family. You will be able to enjoy longer evenings outside, and also keep your family safe. A home with exterior lighting makes a much less enticing target for crime than one that is darkened. Give us a call today to see how we can help.

Safety Tips

Never take electricity for granted. It is always present in our lives, but it is also dangerous. Mishandling electricity improperly will lead to injury, fire, or even death.

Follow the safety tips below to help keep you and your family safe:

1. Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet
2. Only use extension cords when you need them. They are not made for permanent use
3. Change cords immediately if you see any damage
4. If you experience an electrical fire use a fire extinguisher to put it out. Never use water
5. Schedule annual electrical inspections by licensed electricians
6. Unplug appliances that emit sparks
7. Use tamper-proof receptacles to protect children and adults from shocks

We hope these tips keep you and your family safe.

Surge Suppressors

Surge protectors, also called surge suppressors, will keep your circuits from getting overloaded during a power surge. These can occur during a lightning strike or if there is a problem with your electrical system. A power surge can cause fires and damage your electronics. A home surge protector is an even more reliable option that a traditional surge protector. Call Baker Brothers today to discuss having one installed in your home to protect against power surges.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans are an idea way to add comfort and visual appeal to a room all at the same time. Just make sure to get the right size, however. If your fan is too big, it might overwhelm the room. Too small and it may not cover everything. A North Richland Hills expert from Baker Brothers will be able to give you guidance on choosing the right fan, and deciding where to place it. It should never be closer than 18 inches to the nearest wall, and there should be 8 inches above and 8 feet below the blades for clearance.

Rewiring

There are some homes with wiring that is 50 years old or more. If that is your situation, then you are due for rewiring and upgrading your home. You may also have wiring that is newer than that, but is not good quality. Bad wiring that does not handle electricity efficiently can be a major safety hazard.

These warning signs can let you know that it might be time to do some rewiring:

• Circuit breakers frequently trip
• Aluminum wiring. This wiring can become loose and cause fires
• Minor vibration, buzz or shock when turning on appliances
• Flickering or dimming lights when using appliances
• Electrical outlets are loose
• Your home is more than 40 years old
• Outlets give a burning odor

If you see any of these signs in your home, or something unusual, call Baker Brothers today. Make sure you take care of any issues before they become much costlier.

LED Lighting

Baker Brothers in North Richland Hills are the LED lighting specialists. We know that LED lighting will not only look great, but it is easier on the pocketbook and the environment. LED bulbs can last up to 25 years, which is about 25 times longer than traditional bulbs. Not only that, but they use less energy, so your bills will thank you. They also provide a pleasing glow that can be directed in any way direction you choose, unlike incandescents. As they lose power, they do not instantly burn out. They slowly change color so you know when it is tie to replace the bulbs before being left in the dark all of a sudden.

CO and Smoke Detectors

Having the right detectors in your home could mean the difference between life and death. Do not take chances. Install smoke detectors in every bedroom and at the top of every stairwell. Test them every month, and replace their batteries every year at least. CO detectors can be plugged in near any sleeping areas. They should also be tested every month, and the entire unit should be replaced every 7 years.
