Need a Second Opinion?
At
Caddell Electric, we understand that spending thousands of dollars can be unexpected.
We recommend getting a second opinion for any large job. Even a third opinion
is a good idea. Upgrading or adding to your existing electrical system is a
major decision. Here are some things to look for when comparing estimates.
·
Are all companies reputable and members of the Better
Business Bureau?
·
Have you compared the B.B.B reports and checked for
complaints?
·
Are all estimates for the exact same work. Make sure you are
comparing apples to apples.
·
Check warranty information. How long a company stands behind
their work is often a good criteria for decision making.
·
Are all estimates relatively close in price? There is an
industry average for electrical work. Bids that appear to be too high should
really be examined closely.
Caddell
Electric is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau. We invite you to
check us out at www.bbb.com.
There
are many companies working illegally without insurance, licenses, or a Master
Electrician who charge extremely cheap prices. There are also companies who
charge 3x the average cost of work and hope you pay because you don’t know any
better. If you have a question or just want to know if your estimate is in the
right price range, give us a call and we will be glad to help you.
Electrical System
THIS
IS THE HEART OF YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE INSPECTED YEARLY
We
specialize in electrical panels, meter bases, and code compliance issues. If
you feel that your electrical system needs to be inspected by one of our
licensed electricians, please contact us today by calling 214-329-4567 or
submit an online request form.
NOTE:
·
Have you heard of a Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical
panel?
·
Has someone told you “Your breaker box is dangerous”?
·
Did you know that these “Stab-Lock” breakers can fail to
“trip”?
·
Federal Pacific and Zinsco breaker boxes are no longer UL
listed and should be replaced
*Caddell
Electric is not implying that if you own “Stab Lock” designed breakers your
home will burn. It is however, safe to say that if you do in fact own this type
of breaker, have a short circuit, and it fails to “trip”, the potential for a
fire is great.
Here
are a few facts from the U.S. Fire Administration regarding house fires.
During
a typical year, home electrical problems account for 67,800 fires, 485 deaths,
and $868 million in property losses. Home electrical wiring causes twice as
many fires as electrical appliances.
The Facts
December
is the most dangerous month for electrical fires. Fire deaths are highest in
winter months which call for more indoor activities and increase in lighting,
heating, and appliance use. Most electrical wiring fires start in the bedroom.
The Cause
Electrical
Wiring
Most electrical fires result from problems
with “fixed wiring” such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems
with cords and plugs, such as extension and appliance cords, also cause many
home electrical fires.
In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for
33% of residential electrical fires.
Many avoidable electrical fires can be
traced to misuse of electric cords, such as overloading circuits, poor
maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high traffic areas.
Home
Appliances
The home appliances most often involved in
electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers, central heating units,
televisions, radios and record players.
Safety
Precautions
·
Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.
·
Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or
damaged appliance cords immediately.
·
Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t overload
them.
·
Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters;
pay special care to electrical appliances in the bathroom and kitchen.
·
When buying electrical appliances, look for products
evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as
·
Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
·
Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical
appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.
·
Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially combustible
items at least three feet from all heaters.
·
If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a
three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension
cord.
·
Never overload extension cords or wall sockets. Immediately
shut off, then professionally replace light switches, that are hot to the
touch, and lights that flicker. Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical
outlets.
·
Check your electrical tools regularly for signs of wear. If
the cords are frayed or cracked, replace them. Replace any tool if it causes
even small electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out or gives off smoke or
sparks.
